I think Steve is yankin' our chain a little bit on this one.

I kid you not. My digital camera is busted, but perhaps someday I'll get photos.

She is out of her cage much of the day, and usually sits on someone's shoulder or lap, or on the fridge.

If she knows we're preparing food, she will hang out.

I was barbecuing recently, and when I came back in the house, she was sitting on a cob of corn, tearing it up.

Other times, she'll try to chew through a bag to get at the tortillas or chips.

Come to think of it, there isn't much she won't eat.

Does it prefer guacamole or salsa ??

She doesn't do either. I think salsa is too wet for her. She doesn't like wet foods. Does like peppers, though.

My wife's greatest fear is that Honey will eat some avocado, which is poisonous to cockatiels.

I think she tasted it once, then wiped her beak on my arm. That's what she does if she tries something she doesn't like.

Have you tried oatmeal? SweetBaby loves his oatmeal. Well, ok, he loves everyone elses oatmeal.

Be careful to not give dogs (and cats, too?) onions. They can make poochies pretty sick.


Yep, cats, too: http://www.aspca.org...805_562-566.pdf

That may be one exception to the 'wet' food issue.

Guinea pigs will eat paper plates, papers, paper towels, etc.... who would of thought paper products tasted so good? Or maybe they eat it since they always want to chew. Heck, I have some that prefer the paper plate over the watermelon that was served on it. Oh, yes, and they tend to eat the plastic on the Pigloos and eat the Coroplast.... and even some will eat each others hair.... they must have very good digestive tracts... They are walking stomaches!

Haw seriously funny. My little guinea pig Marshmallow --a boar--drags his stomach when he walks. He NEEDS to have his parsley two times a day!!

Hehe, cute! Guineas do live up to "guinea pig" in the fact that they kind of sound like pigs in a way (with all the noises, except they don't snort-lol), are messy, and eat LOADS!

I wonder how much 1 hungry adult cavy could eat in veggies in one day... if it were their ideal settings... they'd want to eat as much as they weight! 2-3lbs of veggies, yay!

The males are boars, the females are sows.... and the babies? Pups... I think it'd be cuter if it were Piglets!
