Laura & CTB Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Spaghetti eating is very funny to watch - so is corn on the cob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House MD 221B Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 this might sound stupid, but how do you guys suspend the con on the cob? cus I'd LOVE to see that. We use Grapes and Sweetcorn, They weren't fussed by spaghetti, but i might try grated cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkl Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 hi mine have just discovered apples. I still have quite a few windfalls on my lawn and they just love pecking at them. also sweetcorn, grapes and tomatoes go down very well but i get the most comedy moments when I chuck a load of grapes into the run. cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahphe Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 ours love spaghetti but their second favourite is strawberries! either the tops of strawberrys or blended to make a nice pure strawberry smoothie, perfect for the hot summer days! they like mash too!!
