Was walking out the door and didn't have much time for replying earlier. They tend to be more carnivorous as youngsters so it's not really a big deal if he's picking out the proteins. You can just keep dicing everything up and mixing it together and skip the puree mess. You basically just want to get him acquainted with other food options and as he grows he should naturally nibble on them more and more. Variety is key with these guys and you definitely want to use a high quality vitamin and calcium(with D3) supplement for an indoor baby. Mix up your proteins often with gut loaded/dusted crickets, roaches, earthworms, mealworms, slugs, snails, beetles, fish, boiled egg, chicken, hearts, livers, etc. Steer clear of meats with high fat and towards leaner options like the breast.
