I've heard of people who have Colombians that eat fruit, but mine is a pretty strict carnivore. She eats rodents twice weekly, scrambled eggs once or twice monthly, ground turkey, organ meats (livers, gizzards, hearts), fish, insects, and pieces of chicken or beef.

Colombians are just a bit more jumpy and seem to require more consistent handling. I used the T-shirt technique when I first got her years ago and just kept handling her. I pick her up from underneath and find that long sleeved shirts can help with the claws! She likes to climb up my arms and is quite scratchy.
