FINCHforum

We recently purchased two zebra and two society finches.
I have:
seed with egg (comes premixed)
millet sprays
mineral block
cuttle bone
grit (which I have actually seen them eat!)

I have also been putting in a piece of apple and a piece of orange and have also tried broccoli.

As far as I can tell they show no interest in the fruit or vegs.
Is this ok?
Should I keep putting the fruit/veg in there and hope they nibble at it?
Should I be putting vitamins in their water to make up for their lack of interest in the fresh fruit?

I have to say I LOVE these little guys!

Sometimes it takes a while for them to start eating any new food ,Mine really like romaine lettuce,I also give mine cooked rice about twice a week. Hard boiled eggs are really good watch them only leave this in the cage for a few hours as it can spoil,take the shells from the eggs I microwave mine for a few minutes then crush them up into small pieces this give them the much needed calcium you can mix the egg shells in with the grit

Yes they love lettuce,bokchoy and silverbeet.some people also give them rice with a few peas and corn mixed in.I give mine sproated seed(french and jap millet)And seeding grass when available

Wow I forgot about one of there favorites corn on the cob

cucumber is another favourite

Thanks everyone.
Guess I will keep trying!
