Feeding Lucky like Sarah suggested. When chopping uf veggies and fruit, my dog, Lucy loves to eat what I do not give Lucky. She really loves carrots. My cocker spaniel LOVES carrots! We buy bags of the baby carrots just for her. She know what the word "carrot" means so if you say it, she'll run up to the fridge and she'll patiently stare at it until you open it, she knows exactly what door we open and the exact drawer they are in! My shih tzu walks away in disgust. My bichon tolerates them

How funny for a dog to like veggies. We had a dog once when I was a kid who liked tomatoes. It's was so unusual. And then there was my own little Lucky, a fox terrier mix who was my sweet little friend throughout my childhood. We took him camping, and he would pluck wild raspberries from the bushes with his teeth, lips all pulled back. It was the cutest thing. He really loved them. But all this reminds me that I meant to buy strawberries for my birds yesterday during my weekly grocery trip, and I forgot! Bummer. Right now I have seed-sprinkled carrots in the budgie cage and nobody is even glancing toward it. However, some great news -- last night when I came home from the grocery store, Mistletoe's small plate with thawed pieces of frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn & green beans) was licked clean! Woohoo! He ate them!! Well, gentle little Clausy was closed into Mistletoe's cage with him while I was gone, but the chances of him having eaten those veggies is about as likely as if he were to sit down at the piano and roll off Beethoven's 5th. This made me laugh! I will have to try those kinds of veggies with Lucy

Pammy , congrats on mistletoe eating a whole plate of veggies. I am about to give up on sweetie. All she wants is seeds. Same with Pearl, accept Pearl is younger and not as set in her ways. I have been feeding a seed pellet mix, but no one eats the pellets. I just purchased a bag of pellets, if they are not going to eat fresh fruits and veggies I am going to try taking the seeds away and have just fresh veggies and pellets for them to choose from.
