Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Insects should definitely be given sparingly with Uros. I don't give insects more than ever couple weeks. As far as veggies, mine loves Chicory (curly endive) and Dandelion greens. It will take some time but he will eat. I ordered some powder for the food as well that seems to work well in getting him to eat different stuff. Check it out:

Give him time, he will come around and be a veggie eating machine. What I do for my uro, I buy a Spring Mix, prepackaged bag of salad at the grocery store, my Uro loves it and it has a few different kinds of greens in it. He is a big dandelion fanatic, so I get a bunch of dandelions to ad to the mix. I always keep a bowl of bird seed in his cage, a good kind to get is the bird seeds with dried fruit mixed in it. A food item my uro goes crazy for is from Nature Zone called Iguana Bites, which you can get a free sample of at their website http://www.naturezonepet.com/samples.html
You ought to posts pictures of him in the Uromastyx forum, we are currently having a photo contest with a prize. Click on the link below my name.

No problem! Of course I spent money on my cubes. It was an try and see sort of deal, I looked at my hand with the cubes and at the iguana, then thought popped in my head that iguanas are vegetarians so there was no harm in finding out if my uro would like them. Sure enough they are his favorite treats.
Zarko, let us know how your Uro is doing in the future!!

I've heard of some people having success getting a uro into veggies by sprinkling the bee pollen available in health food stores on the greens. If you haven't seen it yet: http://www.deerfernfarms.com/Uromastyx_Care.htm has some great into on it in terms of diet and getting wc acclimated.
Good luck!
Alice
