I'm (still) having a problem getting Annie to eat her vegetables. Compared to how she used to eat them to now is night and day for the past week or so. I have tried everything! She couldn't want for a better selection as I've tried everything on the list. I've brought vegetables for her I never even tried let alone could pronounce, I carry the list in my wallet. I've tried cutting them different, different locations, different food bowl, hand feeding. I've tried the almond butter, peanut butter, she just licks it off. I even remove and give her fresh veggies several times throughout the day, they could all sit there and rot for all she cares. My garbage disposal is over worked!
Occasionally she might eat half of a cherry tomato and she will nibble on fruit when given such as apple or grape. She only plays with eating a block but will down a boo ball without hesitation. I've even tried withholding the boo balls to get her to eat other things but she'll go without eating anything and I give in because I want her to eat. She will eat a nut (pecan) and has no problem cracking into a shell but I only give her one every other day because she gets the boo balls.
She drinks plenty of water, pee, poop are normal and abundant. Not losing weight but I don't see her gaining either. Teeth look good. She still "nibbles" a tad hard and is still putting her signatures on my woodwork. Eyes, nose look good, fur looks good. She is very active, friendly, playful, purrs, gets plenty of out/run time as cage door is normally open all day. She takes a nap during the day and puts herself to bed at night. Nothing is out of the ordinary except her eating.
I'm at a loss here, open to suggestions... :dono
