Lettuce and spinach. Mine don't touch broccoli, very seldom take a bite of carrot and I tried to feed them apple with no success.

What type of lettuce?

Broccoli is a big hit, peas (and apples) get eaten.
Green beans are apparently fun to throw around while pretending to eat them.
Still trying new things - thanks to the birds I'm buying more vegetables. Maybe that's why they say pets are good for your health.

I am just trying to find some different and safe options. I usually do Endive and Romaine. I know there are lists out there of healthy greens, but I would rather here what you all are serving.

Romaine (organic), cucumber halves (not organic, they only eat the insides anyway), and baby broccoli (organic). I tried various things like Kale etc but they didn't touch it.

I have Zebras.

Spinach, cucumber slices (pinned to the side of the cage) & Romaine lettuce.

I manage to sneak some shredded carrot into homemade egg food.

They might get anything that finds its way into the fridge. New foods aren't generally well received, but they did love corn cobs! Cleaned them up beautifully!

Just fresh corn cobs?

Romaine is their all time favorite. If they don't get it every day, they get spunky.

They hate broccoli, there's some in the cages now but they really don't like it.
Shredded carrots are ok.
Right now they also have a yellow squash (like a zuchini) in there, and of course the "teenagers" are gobbling it up. They will eat ANYTHING I put in their cages.

Bell pepper (red, orange, yellow) and Swiss chard are absolutely favorites.
