Ideas to get my little guy to eat his block again

[Little Owen's Mom]

My little guy in the past two days hasn't really touched his Henry block, other than hiding it...any ideas to get him to like it again?

Do you give him his block before anything else? If not, I strongly recommend that approach. It as much about teaching them they will not get anything else until they eat all their block.

You could also try warming it a bit or even try giving a frozen one. My longest guest here goes through phases periodically where he wants to test me by not eating his block. I find he especially will take to a still frozen one every now and then as a welcome change.

I also keep both wild bites and picky and switch them up for variety.

I give my squirrels their blocks first thing in the morning when they are at the hungriest, or for my most pickiest squirrel, I chop the block up and place the prices on top of some vanilla yogurt....... he eats it up.

Shiloh would hide her block as well and became very picky as she got older. What I have had to do is grate the block on a small cheese grater and then grate a pecan onto the grated block. When that stopped working a year later, I grated the block and squeezed the juice of a red grape (2 grapes depending on size, NO SEEDS) over the grated block. The last trick is heating a very small amount of organic almond butter and mix it into the grated block. I put her grated block and one of the above combinations onto a small round plate (about a 3 inch diameter human butter/bread plate) first thing in the morning and she eats it all up. Best of luck.
