Fruits Question

Recommended Posts

Ok. I've searched the Fruits and Veggies thread and I've used the search tool and can't find this info.

 

Fruits - are Pears ok?

 

Vegetables - is lettuce OK?

 

I've prepared a mash for Charlie and Rocky to try tonight. I put several types of bell peppers, parsley, and green beans in it.

 

I am also trying a fruit medley. So far, testing individual fruits, he LOVES grapes. Not to keen on oranges. LOVES apples (I know, no seeds). Not too sure on Kiwi or Mango yet, but we shall find out.

Pears are ok, but you do want to limit the fruits. The best fruits are the dark berries. Lettuce is also ok, but stick to the dark leafy varieties. Iceburg lettuce has no nutritional value. I try to limit the fruits to one small bite every other day or so. Lots of daily veggies. Sometimes they will eat something one way but another, so you might try sliced diced and chopped...if that doesn't work try steamed sliced diced or chopped. Mine are sometime picky about the presentation.They also love sweet potatoes. Good luck!

Fruit should not be given every day, romaine lettuce is good as is the other dark green leafy vegetables like kale, mustard, beet and turnip tops, apples are ok as long as you remove the seeds and grapes are nutritionally lacking, they are full of sugar so no wonder they are a favorite.

Well. My experiment didn't go so well. Charlie picked through the fruit. Ate the three grapes that I had put in. Ate a few other bits and pieces of fruit and then wouldn't touch it. On the vegetable chop that I made, he picked at it for a while and ate bits and pieces, but he didn't seem overly enthusiastic about it. I guess I will just keep introducing small pieces of vegetables and fruit into his regular food in order to try and get him used to it.

That has always been my experience also with this chop. You go threw all the trouble of finding the best ingredients and then all the work and they barely touch it. A group of us girls got together yesterday and made chop and the same thing i had to flush the lot down the drain barely touched. Sigh
