Tigerlily Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 this question has probably allready been asked but couldn't find it so sorry if i repeat! Is feeding Tigerlily baby food, the human kind, a good idea?
judygram Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Sure its an excellent idea, I do it all the time, but I use the simple vegetables not the other concoctions. Josey loves the butternut squash and sweet potatoes.
nims Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I was thinking of doing the same with Indy as a treat once a week! Nims
judygram Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Why limit it to just once a week, you can give it to them every day if you like, just vary the flavor, be sure to use a small spoon and then you will have him prepared for when you may have to give meds by spoon. I mix a little in with the oatmeal I fix her for breakfast or some do a nighttime treat before they go to bed.
Suzzique Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Baby food is really good. Just make sure to read the lable. Some of the "flavors" have sugar and other add in's. I too add baby food to the morning mash to give varity. Both birds love it! B)
nims Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Thanks for the great advice I'll be sure to pick some up tomorrow! Nims
Tigerlily Posted August 27, 2008 Author Posted August 27, 2008 thanks everyone. i'm sure tigerlily will appreciate your replies. baby food is now on the shopping list
judygram Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Don't forget the rawhide dog bones {Feel-good-0002006E}
Suzzique Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I have a ton of rawhide that I even died but so far Alex is totally uninterested. Oh well...
judygram Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I got Josey some rawhide dog bones and gave her one and she promptly dropped it but I amnot giving up yet, no siree, not me.:huh: :cheer:
Tigerlily Posted August 28, 2008 Author Posted August 28, 2008 well tigerlily liked the rawhide and i've just brought her some baby food, which supprisingly doesn't taste too bad:lol: she tried a chicken one but wasn't too interested. which flavour does your grey like?
Suzzique Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Any of the fruit flavors. Though he isn't big on bananna. He also loves the sweet potatos and squash.
judygram Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 Josey likes the sweet potatoes, butternut squash and carrots.
nims Posted August 28, 2008 Posted August 28, 2008 I gave Indy some baby food (carrots and corn) mixed in with some oatmeal and she gobbled it up. I think she ate too much as she was regurjitating and then ATE IT! :sick:
Tigerlily Posted September 7, 2008 Author Posted September 7, 2008 Well Tigerlily is now enjoying an almost daily feed of baby food which of course she was a bit dubious of at first and to my suprise baby food doesn't taste that bad eitherB) when she takes a big bite from her new spoon (plastic) her eyes quickly pinpoint for a split second which i'm asuming is a good sign? anyway, I love these new meal times together and its even better knowing that Tigerlily is getting many new healthy ingrediants this way as i'm not known for my cooking skillsB) So a big thankyou again to this forum from me and Tigerlily {Feel-good-000200BB}
danmcq Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 LOL - Yes, there eyes pinning, rolling etc. when taking that first bite reminds me of a human tasting something and mmmmming, yum yumming along with facial expressions of how good it is. :-) When eating something I know my Grey loves, I'll taste it and say mmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm GOOD!! One of these days he'll say it with true understanding. The next thing to teach him will be "Yuck, it tastes like crap".

danmcq Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 LOL Judy, When Kim does cook, it's ALWAYS the most fabulous meal she ever made. ;-) :-) I must encourage that very rare behaviour at all costs!!!
judygram Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 I'd say you handled that precisely how you should have to keep from ending up in the doghouse:laugh: :laugh: :whistle:
Carolyn Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 Mika eats baby food every day, sometimes just veggies and other times fruit. He loves it Carolyn & Mika
pmaholm Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Ack! I think we just got hit by a Drive By Spamming. Anywho dragging us back on topic. Joey doesn't seem to approve with baby food so far and thinks it more fun to grab the spoon and try and dump the food. -Patrick
lovemyGreys Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Yep we did but i have deleted them sounds like fun Patrick
marions91 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Can anybody tell me what treat they found the best to train their cag with. I've tried pine nuts, unsalted pistacchio nuts and peanuts.
