So, I have been trying to get Mr. T to eat Mazuri with no luck. I soaked it and added chopped greens, but mr. picky says no way. Then after the banana incident I thought to myself, hmmmm and added a tiny bit of banana to soaked mazuri, chopped plantain and dandelion leaves and BINGO, I have never seen him eat so fast. I was worried he would choke. He was aggressively eating it, taking huge mouthfuls without even swallowing the first mouthful and taking another(now obviously he was swallowing I just couldn't believe it). He ate a golf ball size of mixture in less than 3 minutes, I was in shock.

So now to rub some banana on kale and see if I can outsmart him into eating kale, lol.

I know I know, no pics :(. will take some tonight and post them. I wanted to take a pic of his messy mouth watching him devour his pile of mazuri mix but I could not stop watching long enough to go get my camera, like I said I was in shock.

I will take a video next time actually. Although perhaps this behavior is not new to you all.

LOL, just takes having to out smart them. Being sneaky helps too. Good luck with the kale.
