Curious about Henrys blocks

[Winnie77]

Has anyone else noticed that their littles no longer are eating the blocks as good? Especially the hazelnut blocks ? I've seen a decline in them wanting them or barley eating them they are pretty much eating the other rodent blocks (science selective a d Zupreem) but have lost interest in hhb which is strange because that was always a favorite

All mine love HHB sometimes I cut in half give that then later the other half. I think they get bored of all food.
You might just use the other blocks wait a few days and try again I'm sure it's good to change off and on so they don't tired of them 👍

When my crew start getting picky about eating their Picky Blocks (and Wild Bites), I hand them out individually while I am prepping the "buffets"; I too cut the HHB in half... half a wild bite and half a picky for each AM & PM. If they get these first, before the entire buffet, they can't pick out what they want (e.g. eat the avocado and sugar snaps and leave the rest including the block).

I also am a firm believer that anything handed out individually is treated as a treat by the crew members.

There does seem to be a couple times a year when everyone's eating habits change for a while... .

Our 2 reds chippy / coco also turning their noses at the picky blocks now. A few months ago it was the healthy blocks they began doing that, so switched to picky blocks. Now they barely take a bite out of it and bury it in the spruce shavings. Even cut up in half blocks, they turn their nose at it. Just ordered a mix of wild bites and picky blocks, then will switch it up. These girls are fussy, get tired of the same old quickly lol. Avocado is their favorite, followed by blueberries and cherries. Used to love apple or canteloupe slices but they're so-so on it at the moment. Asparagus tips they like once in a while.

and only an hour later... they prove me WRONG lol. Coco now picked the Picky half block up from this morning and ate all of it.

The other day was reading Diggies Friend reply on another thread, about using Chia Oil on HHB.

Not having any Chia oil, i tried some extra virgin olive oil, lightly dampened the Picky or WildBite HHB with a paper towel. ITs been a few days now and both of the girl reds are eating the half blocks. I'm not going to overdo a good thing or they'll get too fussy.

I hope a bit of olive oil wont hurt them ?
