My last trip to the grocery store I picked up a container of fresh mushrooms and black raspberries for my little guys for on their fruit/veggie day. I figure I'll keep trying two different things. When one combination runs out, try another. Well anyways I found out what their favorite food is by far. It's mushrooms. They are normally timid and hide a lot, but just now when I put some cut up mushroom pieces on their plate one came almost full speed out of the hide. The rest were starting to peak out. It started munching down as I was still sprinkling calcium dust on the shrooms. Then I changed the water dish out and it just kept going, undisturbed by my hand inches away. This was after they ate a big pile of lawn greens and hibiscus flowers for the past two days.
Last week I put what I consider a lot of mushrooms on their plate plus about 4 black raspberries. Only one raspberry was touched, but all the mushrooms were gone. I'm going to try to get a video in 3 more days when fruit/veggie day comes around again.
Does anyone else's redfoots or cherry heads show this much interest in mushrooms? I was kind of taken by surprise at first, but then I thought about it a little more. In the wild they probably spend the majority of the time as hatchlings buried in leaf litter and mushrooms/fungus are probably a big part of their diet.
