foreveryoung Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I know they will prob not try anything new and will be very cautious (sp?) and will not try it.... but I thought I would put a couple of raspberries, one showed a little interest but nope nothing yet!!.. The more confident one (they have names but not allocated them yet) One of my new girls is already trying to sizing one of my original girls up through the bars lol Emma x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jools Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Ah scary food! I chucked some strawberries that had gone slightly over to mine once and my greedy Rhodes wolfed them down, but my terrified Indian Game ran away screaming! Talking about scary food, I gave this year's chicks an old tray of lettuce plants a week ago. It took them ages to pluck up courage to investigate ...... Unfortunately I forgot to get the "after" photo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I gave my entire crop of redcurrants (all 17 of them, yes, that's 17 redcurrants, not 17lbs!!) to my three girls, they went absolutely mental for them, so am planning to pick some blackberries for them soon as something else new for them to try!

jennydavies Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Taking any kind of food into the run for ours is like taking your life in your hands - talk about relatives of Dinosaurs they devour absolutely anything I get set upon for whatever is in my hands including cleaning products My dear little Pterodactyls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coco Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Mine all love strawberries, they are next to the strawberry patch and got all the manky ones chucked over the fence to them. They'were like little vultures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roobaloo Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Mine would pull your fingers off to get sweetcorn or strawberries!!! Broccoli is perhaps 3rd favourite... Unless you're unpeeling peas!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercedes55 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Mine all love strawberries, they are next to the strawberry patch and got all the manky ones chucked over the fence to them. They'were like little vultures. Silly question but can they eat the green stalk from the strawberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomeena Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 This year I grew some lovely blackcurrants. Only turned my back for a few mins, and the girls had eaten the lot. Oh well beats the squirrel getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
