Thanks for the replies :)

Once christmas is over and the shops are open I will see if I can get some nice juice.

I have some money coming in soon so I'm gonna order some different pellets and some cookable food etc... I just dont get why he wont even try anything other than the little millet type seeds. He doesn't even seem interested when he sees me pretending to eat the pellets :( I am not eating the vegetables infront of him though, ewwwwwwy vegetables.

I do have one more question though. I've been trying to get him onto the pellets, and am currently on a 50% mix of pellets and seed. He went to the vets 3 days ago for his first checkup, and he is underweight (I know that's my fault for not giving him enough seed, I thought he had enough because he wasn't eating it all but turns out he was just being picky), should I;

1. Change my method and provide him only with pellets in the day untill he tries some, and then give seed in the evening before bed time if he hasn't eaten any.

or...

2. Feed him just seed untill he is off the precautionary antibiotics (The AV couldn't find anything at all wrong with him even though he was sneezing a bit and being lazy at home, he's clean :) ) so I can work out how much seed he eats in a day, and then start over from 100% seed and work up to 100% pellets.

Is it a bad idea to go backwards? Even if he has yet to eat a single pellet?
