    Default 17 month old Eastern Grey Squirrel not eating her block

    Hey guys. This is my first post, although I have been following the board posts since I was given my little Judy last August when she was 3 weeks old. All of yall were mine and her Angel's because I was clueless. I have since started the process to get certified in FL for rescuing. We tried to release Judy but she hurt herself trying to get back in our house. She has been on the Henry Picky blocks since she could eat solid foods. The past few days I have noticed that she is not eating the whole block. I have found pieces of it in her cage. She does get other food that are listed on the approved food lists. She gets vegetables as directed and usually either a piece of pecan or other nut or fruit each day. She does not appear to feel bad and she is active as normal. I just worry about her not eating all of her block. Any suggestions? Her full name is Big Booty Judy because she is a chunky girl. We call her Juju for short. Name:  received_402013697047783.jpg

    My boy was getting bored with his block and I ordered the hazelnut block for him and he loves them. He also likes the wild bites.
    A flavor change might do the trick, the other thing you can try is to make the block more interesting is by putting a small amount of pb or nutella on her block.
    Judy is adorable by the way.
