A couple questions. Rosebud seems to hate treats. I have tried numerous including Biscuits, Healthy Bites, Nutri-berries. She throws them at me ;D. She would prefer to have junk food cheerios, pretzels, crackers and chips which I am trying to get her away from or limit... She does like some fruit and adores warm, not cold veggies... I am trying to give her treats for allowing me to take her off and out of her cage without biting me...

Don't get her hooked on salty or sugary treats, it will make it more difficult for you to get her to eat more varied food, AND they're really not good for her.
Persevere with the stuff she does like (vegetables, I mean), and try them in different ways, steamed, mashed, grilled, etc. Give her food from your fork or spoon, that may well encourage her.

What about raw sugar snap peas, Mitzi loves them. (They are really nice actually, much nicer than cooked). Pretzels are okay as long as you take all the salt crystals off.

Jane,
A friend has just given me some reindeer jerky from Sweden, is it all right to give a small bite to Joshua?

It might be too salty. Also E coli and salmonella have been associated with jerky but commercially produced jerky is much less of a risk from that point of view.

I don't see anything wrong with un-sweetened cereal like Cheerios, but the peas are a good idea.

Thanks, Jane. It is not exactly the commercially produced stuff, it looks more like biltong than jerky. No jerky for Joshie! Lidia
