I've had mine for four years and she passes each vet check with flying colors. This is what I feed her: Fresh picked dandelion flowers and leaves, clover, kale, strawberry flowers and berries, blueberries, squash flowers, fresh peaches and apples. That is in-season. In the winter she eats frozen, mixed vegies and the occasional mango and cantaloupe I can dig out of the store.

Mine also eats baby food straight out of the jar! Applesauce, prunes, squash, peas.. you name it. She has to have her face wiped like a baby after digging it in her baby food, but she loves it.

She eats a cricket or two about once, or twice a year.
