Hello
Just wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions for my 2boys who are turning in to very fussy eaters! They have always been pretty good with most veg but lately they’re both turning their noses up at veggies they used to love! There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong as they still get excited for food and will eat some bits when they realise nothing else is on offer but generally will have a little nibble and go off looking for something else. They seem to have been worse since the weather has been warmer so not sure if it’s a common seasonal thing? Thanks
 
Are they having access to more grass now it’s summer?

Given hay is the most important part of their diet anyway and veg is more of a snack and not a meal, then it isn’t a huge problem if they are pickier about their veg, all you can do is keep offering them their veggies. Do you rotate the variety often or try new things?

They’re inside & I don’t have grass so it’s an occasional treat from my parents lawn!😂 which I haven’t been able to give as much as I’d like due to current circumstances. I am offering different veg but try to introduce this slowly as I read it can upset their tummies to give too many different foods too fast? Thanks for the advice, I’ll keep an eye on their weight & make sure they’ve got unlimited hay 😁
