Atta girl!

River ate this entire bowl of 'bunny granola' (oats, timothy pellets, sunflower seeds, and apple chips)!  She hasn't eaten pellets in 4 months, so this is huge progress for her.  I'm going to slowly increase the amount of pellets in this mixture so she's eating more solid food and try to transition her off of the food paste.

It'll be good to have her getting more of her calories from pellets instead of having to rely on the ground oats and critical care in the food paste and candy to keep her weight up!

Good girl! She must be starving after yesterday's little stunt, she may have figured that food tastes better when it's in the mouth and not between her spaceship and the wall!

Way to go River! You need to bulk up like Simon so that you can get your strength up and have more energy, which means more playtime and more shenanigans, it's a win-win!

Hi Mónica and Tarosagi!
It really was a nice surprise to see her eat the pellets. I broke them up to make them similar in size to the other food in the dish, though she's like a little kid with marshmallow cereal trying to eat all of the candy first! Maybe her hiding the soft food from herself gave her the nudge she needed to try more solid food. Hopefully she'll get more calories in and have more energy to go exploring! :)
