Ground turkey is OK, but lacks minerals.
I have tried strawberries, apples, grapes, mango, greens, carrots, pears, plums, etc. and the only thing she would even do was banana....and even then she only ate a small amount.
I just want to make sure she is fine and that she is not haveing a prob becasue of diet. She is growing like normal but she has always had a bit of trouble shedding....I know it is somehting i just have to figure out what....oh and she gets one to two large mice a week ----- Scott "The most powerful person never has to use it"
