After two years of eating roudybush mini pellets BH has decided he is no longer a fan.

He detests round pellets that we have tried and seems to prefer long pencil/bolt (?) shaped pellets.

Tried and rejected:

Harrisons
Tops crumbles and pellets
Goldenobles (two sizes)
Mini oven baked treats
Roudybush small and crumbles
Zumpreem fruit, but and naturals

All tried for 3 months or more.

Luckily, Manu will eat anything so nothing is going to waste. BH is maintaining his weight as he loves his fresh food and birdy bread.

Just looking for something he can munch on the days where were gone more than 8 hours and fresh food can't be left out.

The only other pellet that I know that has that shape is Hagen Tropican.

Thanks Matt, I did order a small bag of Hagen parrot sticks, a bag of mixed scenic pellets and a roudybush rice pellets. Hope BH likes one or the resumes eating his roudybush small or mini.

If BH ends up liking the Roudybush Rice Diet, make sure to stock up. It's been discontinued :(

That is too bad as many people like using this pellet.

I think Lafaber also has a stick shaped pellet like Roudybush.

That's my next try if these don't work out, I'm gonna order the smallest bag as they don't like avicakes or the berries.

Well latest order has some good news!

Roudybush small: BM loves it, weird as he rejected it last year. Manu the pig loves RB in any size.

Roudybush rice diet: as predicted, both love it. Gonna order a 10 pound bag from Amazon before its gone.

Scenic: they looked at the pellets and ran up the Kraken and did their I hate you scream dance that has been reserved for white tube socks only until I took it away.

Pellets actually smelled good, maybe grind them up for birdy bread.

Hagen: Both had a nibble, ignored and then last Saturday they ate a full bowl. Will use as a back up- mix in.

Thank you all for the suggestions.
