Other than "tortoise crack" (Mazuri), what were your Mee or Mep's favorite foods at one year?
Thank you. I am trying avoid buying food that they are likely not going to eat.Mushrooms, opuntia, collard greens, squash leaves, and snails are all favorites. Although, really all food is attacked with reckless abandon.
They are all different. What one person's animal likes another one may not ever touch. You might be avoiding something they end up loving. Let them make the decision.Thank you. I am trying avoid buying food that they are likely not going to eat.
Feed one item a week. Or for at least three or four days in a row. Often they don't eat it the first day or even the second you give it to them. But after a few days they do eat it I will continue after that. Once you get a variety they will eat you can mix it together once in a while. It's a variety overtime not necessarily every single day.I definitely want to try feeding them a variety. I just don't want to put ten things on their plate at once. I will end up throwing most of it away.
What type of mushrooms do you offer them?Mushrooms are always #1.
i agree, after mazuri, of course. then cactus...Mushrooms are always #1.
granted mine are much older than a year, but they don't seem too crazy about the cactus pads either. they really like the fruit though. I keep trying to get them to like the parts of fruits and veggies I buy for me and don't eat. the bottoms of asparagus were a pretty big fail, however the greens from the tops of radishes is a favorite.My Mees seem to have adapted to the new environment. They seemed like they were picky when I first got them, but their appetites have really picked up. So far they like romaine, collards, sweet potato, mushrooms and Mazuri. I can't get them interested in cactus. They get some supervised free roaming time in the yard, but have never tried to eat any weeds or plants. I will probably try some squash next.
