fussy eaters

[perfectaccident]

just some advice really.

my babies are totally fussy eaters. I've tried them on various things but all they will eat is cilantro, peppers, romaine and cucumber. Anything else i've tried so far they will barely touch, even when i've given them nothing else veggie wise to try encourage them to try it. i've tried raspberries and strawberries as a treat to try settle them in but also no joy. They nibble away at veggies happily and are used to them, but they just seem to hate everything else.

Is it going to be a problem, them only eating those? I eat those myself so they'll get loads. Is there anything like it that they might also like i havent tried?

How long have you had them and what were their eating routines before you got them? Sometimes it's hard to get them to try new things and eventually they give him, or they may never like it. Either way, you are probably fine because the peppers (especially red peppers) provide more than enough vitamin c, and cilantro and romaine are great daily foods. I believe cucumber is okay for 2-4 times a week.
Have you tried carrots? All of my pigs love those. Maybe you could take out their pellets for a couple hours then try some new veggies/fruits to see if it stimulates their appetites? Good luck with your babies!

Babies are like that, keep giving them new things eventually they will eat it all. I had to give them something several times before they would even try it.
