Zazoo is a finicky eater. His favorite food is french fries and pop corn... But he really likes sproutings

Remie loves veggies & fruits! His favorites are peas, corn, strawberries, apples, and sprouts. I love the way he eats... He holds his food and nibbles, he is a very gentle eater, when he is done with it he throws it.

Piper only likes "junk food"

She does eat baked potato
sometimes.

Oh no, wait, she does like her daddy's birdie bread. So she gets lots of veggies from that!

Right now my birdie bread is a big hit and it is full of good stuff.

Mine won't eat anything healthy. I have been trying everything the last few weeks and it is all being left.

Lucy likes banana, eggs(scrambled), and peanut butter with the occasional piece of apple

 

[ellimaye]

Joey likes Broccoli, carrots, corn, apples (the redder the better) I baked birdie corn bread, but she doesn't like it and won't even try it. I would love for her to try sweet potatoes. How do all of you serve that? Cooked, raw, sliced or what?

Angel loves her fruit - honey dew, grapes and banana being her favorites, although she eats apples, pears, etc. When it comes to veggies, carrots, peas, snap peas, green beans, pinto beans, yams, broccoli, corn, corn, corn - she loves corn, and potatoes (just boiled so they're soft). Her favorite food is peanut butter - she loves peanut butter and she also loves pasta. Everything she eats is organic without a doubt. She's just a little bit spoiled. But she had a diet of seed for the first 20+ years of her life. I can't get her to eat pellets, but she does really well with the above mentioned items and a few other things... scrambled eggs, bread, dry noodles... she's coming along great in the food department.

dominic loves papayas and apples. he makes a point of digging for those first in his food bowl.
his favorite junk food is pizza.....his previous owners fed him pepperoni pizza, everytime we bring it into the house he starts screaming for some. we only give him a taste of the crust and a slice of pepperoni.

Topper likes peas, corn and other similar vegies, she won't usually eat carrots or any other food that is orange.

Elima will eat anything especially if she sees me eating it. She's eaten scrambled eggs, rice, peas, corn, carrots, pasta and probably a bunch of other things off my plate when I wasn't looking.

They both also get their regular pellets.

Try your sweet potato every way, Dusty my BE2 likes it, baked, boiled but not raw, she also likes it with carrot or potato mashed. You might make it a bit more interesting by adding a pinch of peanut paste/butter. Dusty loves, corn on the cob, peas in their pod, porrige (mine usually), toast, swedes, and beetroot but will eat pretty much everything. I'm lucky she's easy to feed, but I started early as soon as she came to me as a baby.
