keep in mind iZ is 'just a bit' bigger than your ig *and* is getting over being really sick so i tempt him to eat every way i can think of ...

i mix up a batch of greens (+ collard mush still) and then have seperate baggies of "sprinkles" ... i vary the sprinkles every day ... (yes, he *is* spoiled!!! *grin*)

acorn squash
broccoli (not very often! not real* good for them but iZ loves it and it's a treat 'flavor of the week' thing)
chives +/or cilantro (only really need small amounts ~ more of a different flavor for the week)
green beans
kiwi fruit
kohlrabi
parsnip (loks like a white carrot)
sugar peas
sweet potato
yellow squash
zucchini

some other greens you can use:
beet greens
carrots greens
dandelion greens !!!
escarole !

and of course, iZ's most favorite food in the world ~

oranges!!

tho not all agree its good for igs, if there's orange segments hiding in it, iZ will *eat* it!!! ... (*grin*)

reading about feeding these smaller igs has me giggling ... i buy so enough iZ food to fill 1.5 big grocery bags + lately, the 2 *huge* mixing bowls of collard mush + greens *and* the 4 big baggies of 'sprinkles' i make has been lasting only 4-5 days!!! i do believe iZ has his appetite back!!!! (*proud mom grin*)

best wishes!
