She likes it, she really likes it!!

So Little Miss Diva here is PICKY about new foods. Seriously. Like I have to corner her and shove it under her nose practically to get her to even lick it once. Of course I don’t force her if she really doesn’t want to, but thus far she seems more prissy than angry at new foods, and I have yet to give her something she hasn’t liked (don’t even get me STARTED on bananas). So I’ve tried raisins a few times in the usual ways, leaving them sit in her habitat for a while, then trying to put it under her nose to sniff/lick, and backing her into her little corner to which she promptly scampered off and hid her nose.

Thusly I abandoned the raisin idea.

A few nights ago I was eating a little box of raises and she hops over and periscopes, looking at me with her head tilted like, WTH? Don’t I get some? So I’m like, okay then, and put one under her nose. Sniffs and nose wiggles commence, until little miss delicate allows the raisin to touch her tongue for the briefest of a lick after I swear at least one full minute of debating. She steps back to ponder said flavor, then sniffs again, to my encouragement of ‘good girl’s. Another lick. Progress. A few more. Then a nibble! She backs up. I bring it closer. She backs up. I put it down under her nose. I tell her how yummy it is, and shrug. She stares at me. I give up and eat some raisins, watching t.v. again. She continues to stare, ears straight at me. So then after two handfuls of raisins for me, her highness hops forward and gobbles down said raisin resting on the floor.

Well.

I put down a second raisin, which she then quickly scamper/runs away from to hide. As if it was seriously going to hurt her. *rolls eyes* I eat some more raisins, coming to the end of the box. Quick as you pleae, out pops a bunny head, a tongue snatching up second raisin, only to see head pop back into hiding once more, leaving me, sitting there staring at the bare floor, wondering how in the world this little diva’s mind works.

My diva was also snubs me. She does not like apples or bananas. But, she will eat strawberries (dried oxbow or regular ones from the grocery store) and a tiny chunk of pineapple.

Nor does she like carrots. Yes, I said carrots.

I am currently trying to figure out what lettuces my little picky diva likes and doesn’t.

When I ate an orange for the first time, Eddie got all interested too. So I let him sniff it as I was peeling it. I swear he jumped backwards like a foot on the couch cause he thought this orange was going to attack him. lol And Miss Lolli never like oranges much until after Eddie passed away. I ate one and she got all interested. they certainly are nutty sometimes.

Oh…careful with the raisins. It’s how Lolli got fat.

Nice to know other bunnies are picky too! I haven’t tried strawberries with her, but she flatly refuses pineapple. It took me three weeks of trying to get her to lick a piece of banana. Then another two weeks to be like, okay . . . I suppose . . . and now after two months she gallops across the room into my lap when I sit down with a banana. She gets a few little chunks, and then mum eats the rest ^_^ It’s the only treat she’ll gallop for. She loves her carrots, and will beg for those, and eats romaine lettuce. She’ll eat parseley, but only a few sprigs now and then. *sighs* Why is it sometimes when we introduce new foods, our bunnies think we’ve somehow turned into a serial killer trying to poison them?? Lol! ^_^

Lolli isn’t fat, she’s just pleasantly chubby =p I usually only give Dutchess fruit once every couple of days, so I think I would just give her like four or five every few days when we’ve got them. I was warned not to over feed fruit. ^-^

That’s adorable!
It is frustrating how long they take to ‘like’ something-you offer …and offer to no avail. Then it’s their favorite thing ever! Then one day-nope, they’d like something new And you have four bags of cilantro and no takers hehe

Rupert-my pleasantly chubby bun -can fit FOUR raisins in his mouth at once-no chewing
(I discovered this by offering him a few raisins in my palm so Kahlua could get one without him chasing her off)

Pacey is super picky it takes FOREVER to get him to even nibble a new food then he does the whole “It’s going to attack me” thing before eating it.

Walter on the other hand would probably eat chalk if I put it in his bowl he is a bottomless pit lol.

It took forever for Rufus to like stuff it sucks when they give you the run around
