Im gonna try and whip up some "stew" tonite! She takes grapes and bananas from my hands, and tries to eat the pellet lids too...so I dont see why she wont take the baby spoon?! I have one too! YAY!

Hope she dont just spit out them greens...lol She ticked me off today..I gave her nice red leaf lettuce and let it float on the water and she was pushing it down with her feet to get to my face and hands to SEE what I had for her to eat!! Ding bat! lol She will get this.... (hopefully)

Hey Camee, its definitely tough feeding my little
homies some greens. I use a bit of trickery by
putting 10 or so pellets is a small container filled
with water. Then I chop red/green leaf lettuce in small
pieces, and mix it in with the pellets. I let it sit a couple
of hours before I feed it to them, letting the greens "marinate"
with the pellets I KNOW they luv. Since I feed Tommy and Sincere
in a separate bin, I pour the container filled with the greens
into the bin, (without the pellets) and Sincere always dives in,
and Tommy only sometimes.

2 RES: Tommy & Sincere, about 6 months old.

Thanx zdub20! Thats a great idea also. I dont normally feed Tobi in a seperate container now since she is so big and not as messy...but I would almost try ANYTHING to get some greens into her!

Thanks for the ideas!!! This WILL HAPPEN!!
