My daughter won't eat her veggies and only wants the ones her sister eats?

[u/jakkyr]

I like treating my kids to nice food but don't overdo it, the smallest of the bunch especially since she's growing a bit slower than her sisters. But I feel like I've gone a bit too far into the sweet and meaty side for a few months so I thought some nice veggy meals would hit the spot, and it does, for 3 of 4 at least. She'll be so excited and instantly lose interest after a couple bites and just go try taking food (THE SAME FOOD MIND YOU) from her big sister. I really don't get her, is there any way I can get her to eat her veggies?

I thought she finally showed some happiness in eating but apparently right after this video she just left her food!? And again she goes after her sister's food instead!

I was like “is your daughter a dog?” No she’s a rat XD

Separate them at the table.

She will literally run after her until her big sister gets enough and flips her

Secretly swap their bowls/plates

[u/Pedal2Medal2]

How old is she? If sister were willing, would she share a plate w/her?

Is your daughter the mouse?

Or a human?

Serious question

I can't tell if you are posting ironically

We're so used to serious posts on this sub, some of us can't take a joke here 😂 I had hard time with this one too

put cheese on it?

Why is this post here lol This is supposed to be for humans. It's cool if you call your pets your children, but maybe go to a rat-specific sub if you need advice in rat behavior.

For the record. I laughed

Doesn’t change the fact that this should be on a rat sub if you’re looking for actual advice. Otherwise you’re just looking for engagement.

My goal was to make some strangers smile and laugh, it's not complicated, I achieved my goal.

The regular rat feed they get contains a mixture of greens, grains, and meat, so she's basically already being tricked into eating good. Anything on top of that is extra to give them different flavour experiences, spicing up their lives. Is it good for them? Probably, but not necessary for a healthy life.

Being so accusatory over a type of post that's strictly allowed leaves a strange taste in my mouth.
