Great to hear an update on Harvey - he is growing into a discerning little man

It says a lot about their personalities I think that they have food likes and dislikes - most dogs we've had would eat anything in sight, including socks.

I also find Charlie puts special things in the potty so they can't be stolen by predators

But veg usually gets eaten straight away so maybe he did dump it lol. He sounds very sweet and adorable.

Oh Harvey you are adorable! What are "Endamame Peas"? Sounds like he knows exactly what he likes and dislikes! Sweep barely eats chew sticks! I caved in and got him one with honey in for when he got back from his vacation but he hasn't touched it lol

Thanks Cypher,
If Harvey loves a certain vegetable or fruit he'll eat it straight away, he absolutely adores Brocolli and his little eyes get big when he gets it.
But, something he doesn't like will end up in his toilet, he does this with certain bits of his hamster mix too. Twinkle did the same.
I bought baby sweetcorns and I gave him a whole one and he sat on his bridge nibbling away and I asked him if it was nice and he gave me a long stare and continued eating.

Serendipity, having a dog also when younger, would eat anything and she once ate half a tennis ball which ended up with her getting an operation.
Fresh food is eaten right away with Harvey, but anything not to his liking goes to the toilet.
He's so good at giving me that angelic look, I wonder if they do halos for hams.

Pinkneon, Endamame Peas are a bigger version than a pea but taste different. I can't believe Sweep hasn't touched his honey but bar after the fuss he made about wanting one lol!

He's very good at making his feelings known isn't he lol! I do love their funny little habits

Endamame peas are immature soya beans btw.

Love the Harvey updates, it's so nice to hear how he is doing. Harvey has so much personality, it's funny to hear that food he doesn't like he puts in his toilet, but it's good he getting to try different foods. I never had any of my hamsters pee on there food but if Sherbet doesn't like something she will refuse to take it or leave it where I put it.
Harvey sounds so sweet by the way he interacts with you, but it sounds like Harvey is growing up quickly now weighing 149g (he weighs roughly the same as Sherbet).
Looking forward to the next update already. I really enjoy hearing how he getting on.

I know there's soya involved but, I've always acknowledged them as extra large peas.
Harvey loves peas, but he wasn't impressed with these. I so love his funny habits!

Thank You SKB,
Harvey makes me laugh with his weird but wonderful ways in expressing himself. With the Butternut Squash, I pointed to it in his toilet and said 'don't you like' and he looked at me and looked at his toilet and kicked some CareFresh over it.
Of course, I like to hear his reviews on the different foods. But, brocolli and chicken are favourites. I honestly think if I put an actual whole brocolli in his cage he'd eat it lol!

Terrific update on Harvey. What a good weight he is now. Hilarious how he lets you know about his likes and dislikes!

**Bec** · 07-02-2016, 08:02 AM

Lovin' little Harvey's update, and he's a good size too! Looks like he knows what he likes and what he doesn't!

A lovely man-ham you have.

We're doing a full cage clean with Pluto tonight....will see how that goes! He's coming along well...151g now x

I think its cute he puts food he hates in to the toilet, it really lets you know that this is not liked. Mine just refuse to touch it if they hate it, for instance the current dog biscuits I got are not liked much at all. They will nibble on them now and then but mostly ignored, they are a different sort than what I gave them before. The old ones were liked better and were gone in days.

Tried them all on dried rose buds they hated those too, dried dandelions though are a major hit.
