I remember someone saying they were the master Ig Salad chef. Can't remember who though..... :) Anyway, I was wondering If you and everyone else could post pics of their salads. Reason being Smirnoff doesn't eat ALL his food. He picks at it. He eats SOME of the fruit on top but not much (if any) of the greens. And when I try to hide the fruit under the greens, He doesn't eat at all.... Now I'm basically putting a LOT of his fav (BANANAS!!!:) ) in his salad just trying to keep him eating. That's about all He touchs though. I just made his salad for tomorrow. It has Collard, Dandelion, and Turnip greens, Blackberries, Banana, Mango, and blueberries. He didn't like the Butternut Squash I was putting in there at all. Tomorrow will be the first time He doesn't have it in his salad. Is there anything else I should be putting in his salad or could try instead of Butternut Squash? Has anyone else had this problem??? He isn't losing weight or anything, He just isn't eating very much at all. Also, I called the Vet today for results of his stool sample and he does NOT have worms... Don't know if that helps any...
Also, What is the purpose of the spikes?? I know they have blood (unlike our finger nails) because one of them got bumped in his cage and the tip started to brake off. But what are they for?
Sorry for the dumb questions.....
