I was told Merlin loves carrots, too, but so far I'm not having much luck getting her to eat them. The best I ever get is one or two bites and then she throws it. When she still had her grate she would pick it out first and shove it under the grate and then go about eating the rest of her veggies. I should have taken a picture of her peanut butter beak. I gave her toast with her medications and peanut butter on it and it took me at least 15 minutes to get that off of her! Rowdy has major veggie beak every night, but won't let me get it off for her. She wipes it on the cage bars and toys and then I clean that up, lol!
