How much variety to feed

I'm trying to get used to Asami's feeding schedule, but it can be pretty irregular :roll: Things I have attempted to feed are, salmon, ground turkey, dusted crickets, fuzzies, 1 day old quail, cantalope, grapes, strawberry's, chicken livers, raw chicken, and hard boiled eggs. It seems like she'll like something for 2-3 feedings then get bored with it and not want it anymore :!: I find the only thing she doen't get tired of are fuzzies, quail, and ground turkey(although yesterday she only ate 1 ball of turkey). How often can I feed these items be fed, and how do I get her to eat things she's bored with :?: :?: :?: Any advise is appreciated :)

I give mine something different each day. I am not big on fruits, and some of mine will not eat them at all. She will eat when she is hungry, and rodents will probably be her favorite food. Mine love them, as well as ducklings, chicks, turkey and fish.

They grow wicked fast for the first year. I think our baby Blues are growing about that much a week. It all depends on how much you feed them, their basking temps and the amount of UVB they get.
