Dorian's first 'people' food!

[Acappella]

:woohoo: Dorian ate a couple pieces of steamed (and cooled) broccoli and carrot today! He's always only eaten a food mix from Kaytee called Fiesta, and taken peanuts, walnuts and almonds as 'treats'. Reading on your website I realized how poor his diet is. He started eating socially with me last week, eating from his dish while I ate meals next to his cage, and today he ate a bit I offered off my plate. Didn't care for cauliflower though, and preferred the carrot to the broccoli. I was wondering if my next step should be trying to get him to try pellets, and if the best way to do that is to mash them with warm water like I've read some people do? Advice, as always, is very welcome.

Try soaking some pellets in apple juice and see if he will eat them that way, then you can cut back on the juice until he is eating them without soaking them. I allow Josey to eat most anything off my plate in the evening, she especially enjoys any kind of rice, pasta or potatoes, even chicken or venison.

I'm happy for you! I remember the good old days, when Klaus would wait to be offered something. Now he just helps himself out of my bowl or plate! :laugh:
