Yay, Wooh! Yaahhh, Finally!

Cookie ate her fist veggie!!!!!

*dances*

after almost a year of trying.. shopping, mushing, hanging from toys, twisting in bars, mixing with other foods, Cooked, raw, twisted through cage bars, eating with her... NOTHING!

untill.. i was chopping sweet potatoes tonight, for HUMAN comsumption. she was sitting on my shoulder (she's done this before, nothing..) and SHE WANTED SOME! i put it up to her and she just tried to lick it, so i took it away. every time i took it away she seemed to want it more and more until she took a chunck outta it, AND ATE IT! and she kept coming back for MORE! WOOT!


I still want to get it so she'll eat it from her bowl in her cage, but this is a HUGE start!

That is hillarous. I have been told to eat stuff in front of them and that then they would want it because you are eating it!

Sweet tatos are the first veggie I start babies on. Me? I can't stand the things.
