After reading several posts recently on foods people feed their ekkies, I decided to start experimenting a bit more with Wranglers diet. He's notoriously picky but he's come a long way in that he is no longer on any form of pellet, just fresh/frozen fruit and veggies...with a bit of doctoring. This is how this morning went.
Round 1: Fresh quinoa---warm.
His response: meh, boring...not interested
Round 2: add paprika
His response: I'll take a bite, but the african violet on the counter is more interesting
Round 3: (Mom caves in) add sunflower seeds and crumbled sweetpotato potato chips---he LOVES these.
His response: That's more like it, ok--I'll eat breakfast now.
I also read that they really like bottlebrush branches so on our walk yesterday I pulled a few "brushes" from trees along the way. Some were in flower, some just cone/buds. He nibbled one or two buds and has ignored it ever since. Didnt even look twice at the red blooms. I thought for sure he'd at least shred them
*sigh*
