It took a good week and half of screaming and screaming but finally Baloo is gung-ho for Harrisons pellets. When I got him from the pet store they gave me so many different types of food and treats, treats that would go great with tea when your friends come over I swear! It was like a medley from Trader Joe's with dried berries, nuts and even white chocolate! I asked the vet about it and he said although white choc doesnt have the chemicals that makes chocolate toxic, he shouldnt be eating it anyway. But anyways, Im so happy Baloo is happy now. The first few days were torture as he was constantly crying for his normal medly of seed and more fresh fruits. He completely rejected the pellets and would throw them. I felt so bad and was so worried he wouldnt eat but I was closely watching him to make sure he wasnt losing weight or anything. I started giving him a 1/2 hour with regular seed then pellets and so and so forth with veggies in the morning and fruits at night as a dessert and gradually cut down the time with the regular seed and it worked! It was shaky for a few more days but it has been about 3 weeks now and he purrs now when i give him his pellets! And I do think they are better for him because of a little impromptu experiment. I ran out and he had to wait a couple days before I could get some so in replacement I gave him the pet store food. He had to eat more of it and would cry a little afterwards as if unsatisfied and his poo was always a different color and consistency and thin. When I finally brought home the pellets he was so happy and was growling at them! his poo went back to normal (which is alot easier to clean too) and he wasgetting full. So thank you Harrisons Bird Food for the yummy grub!
