So the Hank was out eating some crab grass as usual, and I was on the phone when I look over and see him eating something white. So I run over, because I thought it was gum, but what's this! Rose petals! Now, if you're unaware, I havn't been able to get him to eat ANYTHING other than crab grass. So I ran to our rose bush, and picked up some more of the fallen petals, and he started chowing down. Now, ecstatic as I was, I had to think. So I grabbed some greens I had gotten for him at the store and threw em down, and he actually took a few bites as if to say 'There, happy?'. Regardless to say, I am happy.

Yayyy. Finally. Now let's hope he keeps this up!

Awesome. I have the opposite problem. My pair consume a dinner size plate full of mixed greens every other day!! Try mixing the petals in with other greens real well and see what he does.

Hey Andrew,
I believe we got our Russians around the same time and mine just started eating yesterday as well, definitely a good feeling now.
