Yep, I feed tomatoes no problem, too. Not sure if it's still there, but Zach had a video on the main part of the site of his eating a cherry or tom-thumb tomato.

Do what I do, each week buy a 'mystery' vegetable and give it a try. Even though some veggies are a no-no on a regular basis, if they're given only occasionally then I think it's ok. It's a good way to try them on new things, and you get a greater appreciation of the vast array of veggies out there. With some of them, it's lucky they have names on them because I've got absolutely no idea what they are otherwise! It's ok though, because the only veggies I eat are potato and cucumbers :lol:

tomatoes are fine,i remember a wild eastern that lived under our bungalow use to eat and tomato it could reach in the vege patch where it use to pop out,if u fed straight tomato then u may get watery stools but no probs as part of a varied diet,great for moisture with desert dwelling blueys and shingles to,my stumpys are quite partial

I didn't have a problem with the caterpillars but the squirels did get the couple of squash that I managed to grow.

LittleFoot tried both, didn't really care for it, he loves acorn squash though, go figure. He also loved little grape tomatoes.
