I just gave the boys their first fruit salad.

And they don't seem very interested ... both came up to have a sniff but none has been tasted.

There is:
Nectarine
Melon
Grapes
Strawberries.

Is it just because it's new food to them? ?/
 
They may be a bit overwhelmed by it :) Try one item at a time see if that helps. My boys love grapes but were unsure at first.
 
Heyoo I got my boys two weeks ago, and i'm continuing introducing new veggies and fruit into their diet. I introduce two fruits/veggies at day atm they love peas (and theirs pods chopped), grapes and mandarins, they aren't fussed on tomatos, apples and kale though. They might try it later on in the day, or maybe when their a little older when they're a bit more adventurous in trying new foods!
 
Mine won't eat strawberries either?
I often cut a big orange in half and give it to them and they like that but they don't eat much fruit, I just don't think they have a sweet tooth
 
I have one piggie with a sweet tooth, the other two are not fussed on fruit, though they all like a little bit of apple.

Caramel - aptly named with a sweet tooth would eat just about every fruit if I were to let her.

to get to see what they liked the best I gave mine a mixed box of fruit and veg and would see what was barely nibbled

parsely is always the first to go LOL
 
they are probaly just not use to it, when i first got Rusty whenever i put a bit of lettus in his cage he would run and hide and occasionally peek out at it from his house as if he thought it was either up to something or going to follow him:)
 
Our piggies will not touch strawberries at all, which means more for me! I din't think piggies were allowed grapes and mandarins, now I know they are I think I might treat them!
 
Mine all hate strawberries too. But also like the leaves a lot.

Melon however, they can't get enough of :)
 
My boys are the same with fruit! They only seem to like apple and thats only now and then. Oh and watermelon Joey likes that in small amounts. They do sometimes eat the leaves from the strawberries but other than that they love their veg too much. :)
 
My piggies arent big fruit lovers, they have a bit of apple occasionally, maybe some pear - but they just like the skin. They have grapes sometimes, and the leaves of stawberries - but never the strawberry itself. They've never liked orange either!

I think they're like me, more of a savoury tooth!

:)
