My mazuri arrived and I couldn't wait to try it with RV. I soaked it a little and made a plate of little lettuce wrap/mazuri. This is the only method I know to get RV to try something she's never tried before.

since she was in her burrow, I knocked on the wood, called her name, spritzed a little (very little) water down, to let her know I would like to see her, topside.

she came out pretty quickly, and said ???what????????? you have my undivided attention.

When she realized I had food, she came right over.. but she's delicate. she knew I had something hidden in the lettuce wrap... first a sniff

then a tentative nibble......

AND IT WAS GOOD!

if I wasn't sure the first bite...

never met a mazuri she didn't like.

As you can tell, she was getting more animated with each bite. I'm amazed I was able to keep my fingers intact while trying to feed and get the shot, all at the same time.

I don't worry anymore about winter food. I don't think I'll have a problem.

Very nice. Most of mine took to it right away too. Scooter, the biggest pig in the universe was the only one that took a while to warm up to it. Now he eats it too.

RV is looking great as usual. Have we seen pics of her burrow and wooden cover? I might get some good ideas from you.

She is absolutely beautiful!!! I am so excited for Rexann's personality to shine more the way RV's does :) I think the more she gets use to being at our home she will be less timid. Thanks for sharing!!
