>Rain loves her mirror also! [primping and such in front of it!] I also use the Repti-cal powder w/D added. I am not real happy w/this but it was all I could find! I rub it on her apple slice everynight and check to make sure she has eaten most of it the next morning [she ussually has] Rain gets her nut mixture plus [always] veggies, apple slice and orange slice plus a grape everynight. I clean out the leftovers the next morning before work and while she is sleeping!! I also keep a salt and mineral block available at all times.. These she ussually uses as "things to climb on" but at least they are there if she wants them. Mine is not a fussy eater at all! I even give her a drop of soy milk, acorns, dandelions, clover, what ever; If I see the Grays eating it I try it.I'm concerned that Squiggy isnt getting the nutrition
