Yes, my son has added another name to our little disabled res. We now mainly call him cowboy. I like it. I am having trouble getting him to eat veggies. I've tried lettuce and carrots, apple, potato and he doesn't like any of it. He loves turtle pellets and feeder fish when he can catch one.
any ideas about how to get him to like veggies?? Also, he seems hungry all the time. Not really sure how often I should be feeding him. Daily?
How often for feeder fish?
