Sam loves fresh food

[Kaztrekie]

Started sam on fresh bits last week pasta a definite favourite loves sweet corn and tonight we are trying him with gammon :)
But he hates carrot he nibbled a bit glared at him and wondered off hehe.

He hates carrot?? My hams love it! I'd be interested to know how he gets on with the gammon though, never tried mine on it but we have some in the freezer

[Lougarry]

Mine aren't that keen on carrot either. Cucumber is a big favourite, as are fresh peas and kale.

[kjwc92]

my hammys fave fresh has to be bananas, they love them but i try to stick with the veggies, they love lettuce as well

[Eriklover555]

I'm finally going to attempt to give mine some veggies this evening. I wouldn't know about the carrot, though, because I avoid it because of the sugar content.

[Kaztrekie]

Ok so gammon is on the failures list he tried it and walked off hehe gonna to keep trying thankfully the budgies don't mind sharing their millet one of his favourites.

This may be a strange question but is the pasta cooked?

[Kaztrekie]

Yes it is :) think he must take after me loves it

[Kissa]

I would've thought gammon would be too salty for hams. I've given mine chicken before though :) My Syrian loves her greens and veg, my Robo not so much :lol:

[Kaztrekie]

I soak gammon overnight then boil it before roasting :) it's a long process but makes the gammon non salty I guess I got it off my mum :)
It is I the safe food list so thought I would try it trying to give him a differant diet.

Carmelita likes baby carrot but does not care for big carrots.

[Kaztrekie]

Tried baby carrots nope ok next item :)

Okay...what is gammon? I haven't a clue! :-)

[fluffydd]

Have you tried broccoli yet? Fluffy loves it.

[Kaztrekie]

Sam loves broccoli it's one of the first thins I tried him on, gammon is boiled ham :) you can either buy a gammon joint or smoked ham joint I always get gammon no idea what the difference is :)

[Kaztrekie]

Tonight will be scrambled egg I have nt tried this yet

[Kaztrekie]

Ok scrambled egg is a no,he sniffed tried a bit glared at me walked off lol
Back to the list I m picking up some fresh herbs today so will try in a few days .

[Lauralou]

Delilah absolutely loves boiled egg white, and boiled potato, chicken, pasta, she is not a fan of fresh basil leaves but my Rodney loved basil!

I want to try her with peas, can I defrost frozen ones and give them to her, or do they have to be cooked?

[Kaztrekie]

Hmm good question I don't know I would cook them from frozen I guess I have nt tried that yet someone I'm sure will know the answer the frozen veg we had for roast dinner we cooked then gave sam a bit so guess it would be same.

[DrKMcK]

I defrost them to room temp and give them to my hams. I don't cook them. :-)

[slatted]

My hammies all love chicken and ham (not gammon), Casper thinks carrot is great and they all love Brocolli.

[Kaztrekie]

Tried chicken cooked that was a no :(

[Kaztrekie]

Lol had to laugh yesterday gave sam some Sunday dinner some veg and small bit of chicken ths morning it had all gone :) he loved it wait till christmas hehe

[Kissa]

My guys had salmon en croute recently (it was on special offer at Tesco and they had some of mine ;)) -- Annie loved hers, Darla was not bothered :lol: They only had a tiny bit of salmon and an even tinier bit of pastry, plus peas and baked potato ;)

[Kaztrekie]
