Aw congratulations!!! They were looking so sullen before, but now they're mad about it! How did you do it, care to share some advice? I'm trying to get mine to eat veggie mash but I'm about to lose hope and thinking that I maybe mixed too many different veggies together and it simply doesn't taste good... :/
I took their seed and pellet out when they went to bed. Then in the morning I put the veggies in there. I was sure it would take a few days but apparently not. If they hadn't started eating it by mid afternoon I would take it out and put their seed back in but I didn't have to do that. Then repeat - take out seed and pellet at bed time and give veggies when they wake up. I will swear by this because I've been trying to get them to eat vegetables for quite some time now.
Thank you for the explanation! That's what I've been doing for two weeks now, but to no avail. They'll eat whole veggies, but I want them to eat the mash because that way I can offer so much more variety. I guess I'll keep trying.
