Title: the new zupreem nut or veggie pellets Post by: steptoe91(tozie) on November 21, 2011, 06:18:51 pm I've wanted to try these new pellets. there is one that is veggie shaped and flavored and one that is nut shaped and flavored. Ollie is not much of a fruit kinda guy but he adores his veggies. so i was hoping that the veggie ones would entice him to the pellet way of thinking. And Skittles loves his fruit pellets but i thought it might be a nice change of pace for him to try the nut ones. Well, i had to go to town today in search of a difficult to find commodity and ran by petsmart while i was out. They had these on sale, so against my checkbook's objections, i bought them.

I put some in his treat bowl and told him how good it was. After he excitedly 'stirred' it up with his beak he grabbed one of the nut ones and ate it, saying 'mmmmmm, gooooood!' over and over as he ate. They are kinda big, but i threw a couple of the smaller ones in marley's fresh food bowl, he went down, grabbed a pellet, started giggling and threw it to darla! :slaph: Parrots 2 Pellets 1.... Game over. :dmblaf: Title: Re: the new zupreem nut or veggie pellets Post by: BuffaloParrot on November 21, 2011, 06:40:12 pm Keep offering them to Ollie.
