I think they sometimes get tired of a certain thing. Try rotating different foods. Maybe after awhile if you come back to dandelion greens she'll like them again.

They can get sick of the same foods just like you'd get sick of eating the same thing every day. My RES once stopped eating anachris and I had to wait a bit before introducing it again (and he started eating it again after not having it for a while).
