    And yea, he might not recognize what you're offering as food if all he's eaten is romaine. Worst case scenario you can try finely chopping up some romaine with the rest of the meal so he'll get something in him, but add in less and less so you can slowly wean him off it. I had best luck pulverizing strawberries and bananas and coating what I wanted him to eat with them at first. Just watch out for too many bananas as they can cause constipation.
    Yeah i tried getting some water on him ill give him a bath right now. I thought he was dehydrated too because his skin feels really dry and papery. like you can see and feel his ribs too... weird. I thought about the whole lettuce deal with adding it then taking it away, im not sure what will work. He still hasnt eaten anything. I grated up some carrot and red pepper but that didnt work either.
