Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:04 pm Won't eat his veggies.....
Hello -
My res won't eat any veggies I've given. I've tried carrots, red leaf lettuce (everyday), green beans, zucchini, tomatoes, and blueberries. He won't eat any of it. I've tried soaking the lettuce in tuna water, but that didn't help. He found a pellet that I put in with the food I gave him that was surrounded by all these veggies floating on the top, but he still didn't touch the veggies! I cut them into smaller chunks, but maybe that was not a good idea? I'm at a loss. I started feeding him like 20 pellets a day, but then read this website! I thought for sure my little dude was going to have kidney failure or something.....so I cut back drastically on the amount. 6 or 7 pellets every other day, while the lettuce just floats around. I think all he's ever been fed has been pellets. He's 4.5 inches long, so I assume he's at least a year old if not more. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to give him? Should I be giving him more pellets? I thought that if he got hungry enough, he'd start to eat the vegetables floating around. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
