anything to eat

[Helva]

Vicky is six months old and I try to give other food, fruit, baby food, wet cat food...nothing nothing...she only wants royal canin cat...
she smell the new food and go this way..never tried to eat a little..nothing.
She is a rare hedgie... :dunno:

Well, in the wild, they eat insects.
Try store bought crickets, mealworms, etc.

I don't know if there is a PJ's Pet Centre or Petsmart,... etc. in Sapin, but you should try those stores if you have access to them.

Lol, unless you've hit the one billion tries mark, just keep trying. Some'll refuse anything the first million times... So far Rico only likes the dry cat food and the stuff he was fed at the breeders... which isn't much, compared to what I've tried...

Lucy is the same. I've tried to feed her bananas about 5 times now. She won't touch them. Apples I've tried 3 times-I've even put it to her little teeth in the front so she'll get a little taste. No, won't go by them. Grapes, same thing, won't go near them. I've tried: peas, broccoli, green beans, canned cat food, and baby food the same way. She hates them all. And I've tried them all 3-5 times. I did steam the peas, broccoli, and green beans.

She does eat blueberries, blackberries and strawberries-the items that are only in season for about a month and the rest of the time are extremely expensive! I'm not even sure if I can get blueberries and blackberries in some months.

The only things that she will go after without hesitation are mealworms and crickets.

Just FYI, Grapes may be toxic to hedgehogs. There are reports of hedgehogs dying after eating fresh grapes. They are known toxic to dogs and cats.

Watermelon, baked salmon, baked chicken, baked sweet potatoes and corn are very popular here. On the "it" list (which means I'll find it pooped on in the morning) are peas, carrots, lima beans, green beans, beets and zucchini.

Just keep offering it. She may eat it one day.

Uh, oh...didn't know that. I just knew to take the skin off and cut them up small. Won't be offering grapes any longer. Thanks!

As far as I've learned from my vet tech studies, only red grapes are toxic. Green grapes should be fine.

-Insert evil word here- :eek: Luna loves grapes (only green ones) she gets one maybe once a week, but wow, I didn't know. I guess no more grapes for Luna. But she'll eat banana and meal worms.

My hogs are both odd. Luna will only eat fruit (and the odd cooked carrot) and meal worms. Isis only likes meat. She won't touch fruit, veggies or meal worms. :laugh:
