They tend to be finicky....although I always offer any greens to Timothy, he never touches the stuff......He loves cherries, his favorite....and fruit in general.....He likes turnups, sweet potato, brussel sprouts, baby broccoli, carrots, mellons, cauliflower, mushrooms of course...****ake being his favorite, squash and the seeds...acorn squash is his favorite, out of all the vegies on the list these are the only ones he will touch...but like I said I still give him greens, who knows...one day he may surprise me and actually eat it......as for fruit, he loves peaches, necterines, blueberries (frozen), oranges, apples, and pears....I mix it up...as for tomatoes, he likes the gushy seeds in the middle of the tomatoe.....but like I said he is finiky...what he eats today he may turn his nose up at the next time....except cherries and mushrooms....:shakehead

Sounds like it's tough love time:D Sometimes mine decide all they want is nuts and not the "good stuff" so I just give them the good stuff and let 'em starve until they eat the good stuff. Don't worry - they don't starve:D They just give you the "help me I'm dying" look and you have to be strong!!!
They just want to eat the equivalent of doritos and cheese puffs instead of healthy food - hmmm sounds kinda like me!:D
