When you do something like the apple above - you leave the whole thing in all night, right? I know they aren't like some animals, and they do stop eating when they are full... but I have seen my Norton almost clear a corn on the cob, and then sit back reclined (literally, like on his back reclined) with his belly sticking out just vegging out lol... he doesn't know how to ration his corn! Was actually hysterical, kind of how I'd be on a couch after a huge meal. After 15-20 minutes he was bouncing around again lol. Yes I leave it in all night. Oh and for peppers, cucumbers, etc - what about the seeds? It's a habit for me to remove the pepper seeds, I never remove the cucumber seeds though.

You don't need to. Just feed them frozen or thawed. (Not canned though.)

Ours are on and off with berries. Blueberries only if they are the big fat juicy ones. Blackberries got demolished last night... as I can tell from the specs of blackberry ALL OVER the cage, backdrop sheet, wall, floor, etc.

ok i have a question what do you do about picky eaters my littles guys dont seam to like strawberrys or or any berrys at all .i have a hard time picking out fruit that they will eat , Sometimes trial and error is the only way to know. Also being creative in how you present their food (like above in this thread) may make a difference for them as well. Honestly, I sometimes think offering too many varieties allows them to be too picky. (I'm probably one of the few with that opinion though! LOL) Try not to offer too many different things at once. Take notes on what they eat and what they don't. And remember, what they turn their nose up to tonight, they may eat tomorrow like its their favorite food! Good luck!

I offer 2 fruits, & mixed veggies that you get at the store & their bml You can offer 7 different fruits if you are following the BML diet (cantelope, watermelon, honey dew, apples, grapes, blueberries, and cherries). Wasn't sure if you knew that since you said you offer 2 fruits.

I love all these ideas! I made some beaded foraging toys with hot pink plastic shot glasses, that they have to figure out how to climb up, hold on, and reach down into the plastic cup to get their snack. They really like these. This also sounds really simple, but the catch tray in the bottom of their cage is filled with a thin 1/2 inch layer of soft recycled newspaper bedding. I've sprinkled mealworms and corn/pea nibblets into it for them to root around and dig out, and it's SO cool watching all 4 work hard at tracking down every last worm/niblet. I have to try some of these awesome ideas on here, I like the straw one and the sword skewers. Plus the Chinese box!
