Fred has been with me for about 3 weeks now. He has been in his C&C cage for about 2 weeks. Before I got him, he had lived in a small petstore cage and only eaten pellets and water from a bowl.
It took him until this week to warm up to eating romaine, carrots, ect. He's still mostly playing with his hay, but he pulls pieces from the rack all the time.
3 Days ago I added parsley, green peppers, and cilantro to the mix. The problem is that when he goes to sample the parsley or cilantro, it makes little rustling noises and he RUNS AWAY wheeking very loudly. He is fine until the parsley leaves (they are they curly crinkly edged kind) rustle!
I've tried holding him and offering parsley but it produces the same result as soon as the parsley leaves move. The other greens make rustling noises...but I guess there's something about the parsley leaves?? I really don't know!
