a "balanced diet" doesn't necessarily mean that *every meal* has to be balanced! no no no ... just so that in general, it all balances out ~ like over a few days maybe???

and if anything, if you're gonna make a meal out of one FAV food ~ at least she picked something that's actually *good* for her! coulda been way worse!

iZ goes in cycles (he gets it from his humommy, who goes in CIRCLES ...) after a few days of having nummy colored vegies sliced up with his greens, he wants a few days of *just* green stuff on his plate ~ collards, dandelions, green onions, etc ... and on + on ...

as far as how often to change the menu??? i go by what iZ tells me ... i used to be able to make up a huge batch of salad for the entire week until we noticed that iZ's appetite would go way down as the week went along ... oK ... now i have to make up a fresh batch every day ... + i've learned that more than 2 days of the exact same ingredients lessens his appetite ... (spoiled innit he?!?!) ... also, breakfast is everso slightly different than supper ~ breakfast is pretty much plain greens, supper has vegies + fruit added ...

it really all depends on what makes *your* ig happiest! yeah, iZ is spoiled rotten! but he's been thru SO much health-wise in the last 18 months that it's just fine by me if he wants to be picky + be waited on hand + claw!

and ya know ... everyone needs a "Treat Day" now + then!!!
*kewl* idea!!! *grins*

Bon. + iZ(i'm shedding, i'm grouchy, leave me ALONE ... after you rub my back a few more minutes ...)
