When we first got Bogie, he wanted nothing to do with anything fresh we tried to offer. I tried different fruits and veg put in the cage different ways: clipped on side, in a different dish at the bottom, offered by hand, etc.

 

Finally I tried changing out his regular food dish with another one filled with a healthy mix. (Boiled egg, grated carrot, little bits o' broccoli all topped off with some seed.) He was so hesitant the first day to get anywhere near it, which was a bit discouraging, although he did try some eventually. The second day he still looked wary of it, but did eat from it. Today was day three, and he seemed a bit unhappy/squawky this morning. Once I put his egg mix dish it, he calmed right down and went immediately to eat from it! YAY!

wonderful news

That is great.
