my tegu nero never really cared for the crawlies, i ask bobby bout it and he said nope it wont hurt them if they dont take bugs. as you can see nero had no problems with growth or anything, so i would guess that this could apply to columbians as well!

Re: picky Donkey eaters

Sorry I meant to specify only to look at the meat/fish section to give you ideas. If you feel you want to feed fruits though it won't hurt them, its just they usually will not eat them.
