I know Hurley can have banana, but how much? I gave him 3 smallish pieces and OMG he went nutso over it, I got video of it, but the file is too big to download, sorry.

Here is the banana loving boy:

Is there any other fruit beside blue berries he can have? I read that strawberries are ok. Anything else? How often?

Thanks for the help!

I usually give my guys two-three slices of banana at a time.

I think almost all berries are fine. Apple and melon are also fine too. I'm sure there's some I'm missing.
They're all listed here: http://www.redearslider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5

But being fruit, you should really only feed it about once a month, since it's high in sugar. So that means a bit of banana once a month, OR a few blueberries OR a bit of strawberry... You get the idea :)
