They Don't Like Spring Greens Anymore

[CarnivalPiggy]

Hi! For the past few months, Ginny and Min have been incredibly fussy about eating spring greens. They're eating everything else (hay, pellets, bell pepper, carrots etc) but don't seem to like spring greens anymore. I think that's my fault, not switching it up enough.

I'm generally unsure if I'm overfeeding or underfeeding them. This is what they'd get daily more or less:

two leafs of spring greens cut & shared between them
roughly half a bell pepper
two to four slices of cucumber

Could you recommend a good feeding plan? Thanks

I have noticed this with mine and have been wondering if they are not very good at the moment, something only they can taste that we can't. How about adding in coriander? mine like that and Morrisons do a big family pack for about £1.50. They can have it daily. I also give them one green bean each and a piece of celery.

Mine left their spring greens last night too...

Jingle and Mistletoe are not keen on spring greens at the moment either. They like celery, cucumber, black kale (cavelo nero), apple (in moderation) and carrot (in moderation). They are not keen on pepper.

That's interesting Curious about the spring green thing now

Anyway, thanks for the ideas! I'll pop out tomorrow to Morrisons etc and look around for different veggies Mind me asking if there's a way to keep them fresh easier? The vegetables I get seem to go off so quickly

I keep mine in the fridge, it seems to help.

Ours have been a bit indifferent to it too lately. I bought the ready sliced bags to save on waste and that went down better than the whole stuff id slice myself... not sure what the difference was but oh well! Ive been alternating it with cavelo nero and a little sweetheart cabbage here and there too and that seems to be interesting them a little more.
