My Uro is crazy about string beans, it's pretty much all he eats. I mean, sometimes he gets to the other veggies, but usually he just eats the beans.

Does anyone else have a "specialist" at their home?

i have two specialists at my house. i can't put dry food in until they have eaten some of the vegetables, more so for hugo but helga is bad about it too. i can't put peas in except on special days because helga will only eat those, even if it is five that is all she will eat for the day, expecting more or something. helga will only eat bok choy as a leafy green

That's funny.... Our Mali Perth was on a kick for awhile where all she wanted was green beans. She would nose around and spread everything out all over. Then she would pick out the beans and leave everything else. She tends to do this, recently it was dandelion greens, currently I'm not exactly sure. Should be able to figure it out by weeks end. I'll just have to figure it out from her left overs.

My first uro once went for 2 months refusing to eat anything but sprouted peas.
They can be stubborn little creatures.

Why's that? Is it a big health problem that he only eats string beans?
