Eating Question

[Jerboa]

My cresties have been eating fine, then suddenly this week, they quit eating their babyfood. They will eat crickets, but won't eat the babyfood between cricket feedings, which is only once every three days. Piper will eat the babyfood off my finger, but Wilson sniffs it and runs away. I don't know what has changed or what I should do.

I think my Willow caught on to the feeding schedule and started holding out for crickets, so I started mixing it up and not feeding crickets on a set schedule (was doing e/o day). Somedays I also don't feed him enough crickets to get full and instead also offer babyfood after he's eaten the crickets I've given him.

Yup, they are smart little guys and will figure out that they can hold out for "fun" food if you feed crickets close enough on a schedule. Try a cricketless week and see if that doesn't get them back to eating the CGD.
