Bella only ever eats her food (or the occasional good quality treat), though she is VERY interested in what we're eating (no surprise there!) Sometimes when I'm eating something I think it would be ok for her to try, I let her taste it to see if she likes it. Tonight I was eating some "jellybean" tomatoes off my plant in my courtyard (they are smaller than grape). Anyway, I let her try one and she at the whole thing, so I gave her one more. Is there any reason she can't have a tiny tomato now and then??
She has also tried grapes (loves to lick, but won't eat, even if I peel it!), apple chunks (she loves those!), cheese (again, yummm!), popcorn (nope, but kettle corn she loves....she stole that when I dropped it though
, don't want her eating sugar!)...that's all I can think of. I'm thinking of seeing how she likes yogurt so I'd have an easy way to mix in powdered meds if I need to. I guess I should get plain yogurt and not flavored??
Also, I never give her more than just a teeny bit of any of those....she isn't a big eater anyway, so I don't want that to fill her up and her not eat any of her own nutritious food. (I think she likes her food, at least she did really like it, she just doesn't eat much. Some days she'll eat her breakfast and her dinner [I divide her daily amount, 1/2 c, in half, and set it out twice a day allowing her to eat whenever she wants], some days, like today, it's 7:30PM and she's only eaten a couple of pieces of her breakfast. When she does this, she usually will eat all of her breakfast right before bedtime, though. I've even tried hand feeding it to her tonight since it's still there, but she doesn't want it. About 30 min. after I tried that, she grabbed one piece and ate it, but that was it! I would switch her food to something else if I thought that would help, but truly, she just doesn't want to eat, period! She'd probably eat more if I switched her food to something new every day, but.....)
