Hi, This is a problem I don't have so I really can't comment. Ying Mo eats everything but pellets. He hates them but it doesn't worry me because he happily eats every thing else. I would say mostly fruit and veg, I give him peanuts and some sunflower seeds as treats. He always has a seed mix in his pot but doesn't bother with it if anything else is there. Have you tried sprouting some seed for him, Ying Mo is crazy for that... regards
