I have been trying, with mixed results, to introduce new foods to Mickey. He is obsessed with sunflower seed, and would eat them exclusively if allowed.....
When we adopted him 3ish weeks ago, he came with a partial bag of some sort of seed/dried fruit mix. I went out and got a seed/dried fruit, pellet (Zupreem) that I mixed....hoping I could get him to at least try the pellet portion. No go...he picks the sunflower seeds out and most of the rest is discarded on the floor.
Fresh fruits and veggies are hit and miss also.... he is given a mix of fruit/veggies once in the morning and once closer to evening, sometimes he eats it, sometimes he throws it.....lol
He is not losing weight, and seems in good health, however I would really like to get him on a much better diet, any tips/tricks to offer?
Oh....he LOVES cheese! However I know that it should be limited, so he only gets a small piece every couple of days.....
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
