No veggies.

Hammie won't eat any veggies but he will eat his blocks and fruits and nuts. What do I do?

[IrishHarps]

Which kinds have you tried?

Try removing the fruits and nuts until he stops being less picky.

[stepnstone]

Fruit and nuts are to be given only as treats.
No "child" is going to eat veggies over sweets/treats. :nono

I've tried most of the veggies on the food chart and the only thing he'll actually try to eat is broccoli and I started that this morning. All he has now is some carrots, chayote, broccoli and a block

[bchappell]

And I only give him a piece or two of a banana after he finishes his block at night and then an unshelled peanut in the morning. He's still on formula too. 15cc's once a day.

I think banana is not an ideal fruit to feed, from what I remember...

Cut out the bananas and peanuts and feed every veggie you can get your hands on. I go to the local supermarket and grab one of their bulk salad containers, and I just run around the produce dept. and fill it up with odds and ends. Then I just pay by weight. That is a good way to get small pieces of a large variety of veggies.

no peanuts, no banana....
2 blocks, one in the morning and one at night ( if it is the HHR's)
Bowl of veggies every lunch, one almond in the shell at bedtime. This is my menu and Simy is very healthy.

I think he just realized he's not getting anything other than veggies. He grunted at me for about 30 minutes then finished his block and then started on the chayote

Flip doesn't hardly like any veggies either. When he gets up, he's hungry, I give him some and wait before I feed his formula and after a few mins he will eat a little. Works other times when he is hungry too but he only eats a little at a time. Ive just learned to work with it. He tried some carrots today. Ate them once he saw I wasn't giving him anything else till he ate some
