So I have been trying for 4 months to convert Mo to pellets and nothing has worked. I took some pretty bird pellets and soaked them in cranberry apple juice and then warmed them up. Well I came home from work and the bowl was empty. I would like to keep doing this and hopefully he will eat them dry. I just want him to eat pellets and not seed.
Is the juice okay for him? What if I buy organic juice?

I'm not sure about the cranberries? unsure.gif Apple Juice is okay as long as it's not filled with sugar and it's just pure apple juice. I would just do it in the beginning to get him to like the pellets and then lessen the amount of juice I think. Apple juice is really sugary and they really (IMO) shouldn't have fruit everyday. wink.gif

Also, once the juice is added to the pellets they should only be offered for 2-4 hours due to bacteria growth.
