Ive been giving her baby food because shes still not accepting any crix or mealies...Ive been hand feeding her because she seems to be most comofortable with it, and she wont eat out of a bowl...I was just feeding her and her appetite has been growing...thankfully so she was eatign pretty fast and tearing my fingers up! She lets go once she realizes shes got my finger in my mouth lol, but it still hurts and she wont eat out of a bowl!any advice??

Hee hee...Looks like we spoiled Sally. Actually it's all Marsha's fault. Let's say your name was Sally. I would ask you,"Sally, would you rather have liver or a nice filet mignon?" You're going to have to back off a little on the baby food so she gets a little on the hungry side and then offer her her normal meal in the bowl. If she doesn't go for it, cover it and put it in the fridge and it should be good for another try.

LOL...why is it always my fault...

Try putting the food in her bowl and the bowl in your hand.. Do that a few times then just try setting the bowl in front of her with your hand next to it ...and the next time try it with just the bowl...reverse psychology

Fran... are you saying youre gonna make me a nice filet mignon if I change my name to sally?? She is very spoiled...LOL She does need to start eating out of a bowl I know she dosnt mean it but she tore my fingers up..so I will give her a bowl full and if she donst wantto eat it right away ill try again later..eventually shell eat it lol..thnaks ...hehe, good idea marsha! LOL, you replied like 2 seconds before I did..I will try that too

Because you were in it with me from the beginning and you know I won't admit to blame. Look on the bright side. It makes you feel better knowing that it's working. So, is it blame or is it credit??

Lol, well I just gave her her morning bath and let her chill with me for a bit. I put some baby food in her fruit dish and held it in my hand...she looked at me like I was crazy LOL so I put a little bit on her snout and she licked it off and just sat there like ohk...what now?? LMAO....I blame u and Fran but its mostly my fault lol, i shouldt spoil her as much as I do....shes eaten a little bit out of the bowl..reluctantly! But I still cant get her to eat crix or mealies

I didnt do it ...It's ok, I have some very spoiled baby Bearded Dragons that will only eat their veggies if I feed them...feel sorry for the new owners .

Hee hee... I'm like Sally. All the time in the hospital I wouldn't eat much of that stuff they called food. The ONLY things that I devoured was 2 containers of milk and two containers of ice cream. After the series of operations I was down to 124. My way must have worked because when I left there I was 150. It doesn't count that my visiters brought me cheeseburgers and vanilla shakes. After the stress was over with I worked my way back into normal? food. Sally's been through a lot so bear with her and give her time. We only helped you spoil her. I am sure you would have done it yourself anyways.
