Fuss Budget!

I have introduced the squirrel blocks to my guy last week and he really has no interest in them at all. Ive cut them into smaller squares easier for him to hold and even still shred some into smaller pieces for him to feed on like regular food. No luck. Hes a milk lover. He love, love, loves his milk. Ive even tried to soften them up with milk! Am I missing something here? Or just keep trying and he will eventually learn hey I have to eat this stuff? How do you get these guys to eat it?

How old? They usually don't start eating them in earnest until about 8 weeks. If he loves his FV, so much the better.

I have no clue how old he is but I'm guessing he's 7-8 wks. He's starting to nibble on them somewhat now, but not very often.

USUALLY MY KIDS MAKE A SANDYBEACH FROM THEIR RODENT BLOCKS, INITIALLY. I start them with Mazuri rodent blocks to learn, then switch to HHBS once they start to really eat them.

I start my babies on HHB when they are 8 weeks old and are able to sit up and hold them...... give it another
two weeks then try placing smaller pieces of the HHB in the cage with him and see how he does.
