Tried something new...raisins in box
OK, so I read somewhere that a good forage toy was a small box of raisins.....so I found the tiniest of boxes, stuck it in the bars of Pitas cage, and he destroyed the box....hated the raisins, loved the box, little raisins all over the floor...now I have a huge bag of tiny boxes of raisins...LOL
anyone else try this?

when I tried something with raisins in it I was promptly told to be careful as store bought raisins have sulfur in them. Fortunately my fids don't care for raisins anyway. Grapes on the other hand.................

I guess it has something to do with the commercial drying process??

Not only that but also preservatives... I suggest if you can, to make your own raisins from a health food store.... Gave some today to my birds, but it was from a Crazy Corn meal... The flavor is Rainforest Rice Puddin, and has brown rice, rolled corn, bananas, green peas, raisins, pistachio nuts, dates, allspice. I've tried another one before, I think it was Noodles n Nuts.... mmm-mmm did it smell good!!!
 but that's off topic!

hmm. i did not know that about raisins! casper adores them. she gets one or two a day as a treat. but this would make a great thing for her to forage for...
i will check the labels very carefully. we do have a dehydrator but i just haven't had any time lately to set it up!
