Veggies for my siberian munk

[Salexx92]

Hello all! I have a rather picky munk. What are some suggestions for veggies for a picky eater? She likes romaine lettuce (if there is a better lettuce to feed her PLZ tell me I am a first time chippy mom), I have to open the green beans for her to realize that something yummy is inside. Other wise she just gets bored trying to open it. She likes snap peas, she hates carrots, broccoli she likes somedays. And if I feed her the same stuff she gets bored with it all together and doesn't want any of it.

Any suggestions because I am going to the store today. Want to try some new things. Don't think she's getting the variety she needs from the veggie side.

Have you looked at this?

The table is built around tree squirrels but the nutritional needs are not that different, and you have lots of choices here!

Yes! I was looking for that chart. Thank you! Also- I am getting Henry's for her. Should I just follow the feeding directions or should I alter it becaus she is smaller?

Something that I have tried that was suggested on the board, and has worked wonderfully to get them to eat the healthy stuff is almond butter. I basically almost mince the broccoli, cauliflower and brussel sprouts, mix that together and add a small amount of the almond butter, and then roll that into small balls, smaller than marbles. Mine absolutely goes nuts for this.

Don't know the nutritional requirements of chippies, but I would think you could add whatever they require. My balls are more veggies than almond butter, but he goes for them first.

I would call Henry's and see how much of their blocks they recommend to give. It's two for an adult gray, so maybe 1/2 of one for a chippie? Less?
