So did you go back to the Kaytee? I hope not. If not, he went back to eating pretty quickly I am sure. I have never seen an animal (other than human) refuse food that was in front of them for too long. An animal's survival instinct is too strong to refuse any food unless they are ill. Human beings are the only ones I have seen that will starve themselves to death even when an abundance of food is available.
In my house, you eat what is available or you go hungry. Of course I try not to make things I know are not liked. Lately my kids have gotten in the habit of eating just what they can get away with and 15 minutes later asking for desert. One of them even asks, "How much do I have to eat?" ummmm, all of it! LOL.
Anyway, I threw the bag of Kaytee out so if they didn't eat the Oxbow, they wouldn't get pellets. That didn't turn into an issue though.
