🥬🦜 Weekly Chop is Ready — Let’s Talk Picky Eaters 🦜🥬
This week’s chop is packed and ready, but instead of just talking ingredients… let’s talk about the real struggle:
“My bird/reptile won’t eat it.”
First rule? Don’t give up. Seriously. New foods can take time, repetition, and a little strategy.
Here are some of our tried-and-true tricks:
*Mix it with familiar foods - Sometimes they don’t recognize chop as “food” yet. Pair it with something they already love so they start exploring it.
*Time it right - Offering chop when they’re a little hungrier (first thing in the morning or after a short break from regular food) can make a big difference.
*Eat it with them - Yes, really. Our chop is 100% human edible — and birds especially are social eaters. If you’re eating it, suddenly it’s interesting.
*Start small - Even just a few bites mixed into their usual diet is a win. Build from there.
*Change the texture - Some prefer finely chopped, others like larger chunks. You can also add known to them favorite textures like nuts. Variety can spark curiosity.
*Change where you serve it - Put it in a coconut bowl, on clean paper on the floor or in a hanging toy. When its somewhere different they will start playing with their food which will lead to eating it!
At the end of the day, chop isn’t just food — it’s enrichment, variety, and long-term health built into one bowl.
This week’s mix includes red kale, fennel, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, radishes (with tops), purple sweet potato, corn, acorn squash, rutabaga, tarragon, and wheat germ.
Fresh every Monday - while supplies last!
Keep offering. Keep trying. They’re watching you more than you think. 👀
