His very first Vegetable

[MissLarissa]

I have been trying to get Rico to eat healthier for a bit now with not much success. He wont eat pellets, he will chew on some veggies and fruits but mainly just shred then and lick the juice from them. He really only wants seeds. :/
But as you can see from the photos he is enjoying a carrot! I am so proud of him now he only eats seed, watermelon, carrot and a tad bit of oatmeal. This is the first step to a healthier diet and I am so proud of him. I just had to share!

Every positive change must start somewhere So glad he's finding some healthy options he likes, and I'm sure there will be more to come! I remember when we first got Kiwi and he treated produce like it was some kind of poisonous matter in his dish. It was a battle to get him to try fresh produce, but every new thing he tried was like a small victory. Now he eats just about anything he's offered. Keep up the good work and Rico will soon discover the joys of the good food!

Congrats on getting Rico started towards a healthier diet! Sometimes if you change up your presentation, it may spark interest- cooked, raw, sliced, shredded, whole, chopped, in bowl, hung from a skewer -get creative!
