Also try Kale, again lots of vitamins and nutrients, and calcium. Because RES are omnivores, I would also suggest feeding him some protein. Minnows (I cut the heads off) and Crickets (remember to tear their legs off or they'll hop out)) cost 11cents each at my PetSmart. Also, worm are super easy to catch, and Skipper will love them. Finally I've started an aquatic snail tank. The tank was less than $20 and I bought 25 snails on-line for something like $6. btw, those dried-out shrimp have almost no nutritional value. They will taste like candy, but do nothing for him. Also, with a good variety of foods, you won't need the cuttlebone.
The idea is give Skipper lots to try and choose from and you'll see what he likes, and it's really easy to do the things I mentioned above, and Skipper will thank you.
