Recently, I managed to get to the grocery store, which means there's a lot of fresh veggies in the house for the piggies and the bun-bun. Honestly, I've never had so much healthy stuff in my fridge before now. In fact, the check-out lady scanning my food was making fun of boyfriend because I bought all these fresh vegetables and then he had to pay separately for like an energy drink, spicy seasoning, and a microwaveable dinner."So you have to pay for the unhealthy stuff, huh?" she said to him.I laughed. "Actually, all the healthy stuff is for the rabbit and the Guinea pigs. They eat better than we do."This morning, all that healthy stuff came out to create a giant breakfast salad for the vegetable-eating trio. It's Saturday, and with no work to get to, I thought it'd be fun to really put some effort into this morning's feeding routine. The breakfast salad got to be so large that I had to upgrade from a dinner plate to one of my nice serving trays.I started off with a bed of kale leaves. Kale is super leafy but also has that crunch in the stem if your pocket pets aren't interested in leaves. Makoa the rabbit is especially fond of kale. The Guinea pigs will eat it every now and again, but it's not their favorite snack. According to Healthline , kale gives you a punch of Vitamin A, K, C, B6, and lots of other good nutrients. It also supposedly has anti-cancer superpowers.On top of the kale, I placed leaves of red lettuce. All three of the critters enjoy red lettuce leaves. This is another favorite of Makoa's. He'd eat red lettuce all day if I let him. In fact, he's been ignoring his Timothy hay for all the fresh veggies in his barn lately.Then, I have to put in baby spinach leaves. My Guinea pigs cannot have breakfast without spinach leaves. It is their favorite all-time snack, and I've been using it frequently to get them used to me since we're still new to each other. According to Medical News Today , baby spinach delivers many important goodies, including protein, strong bones, and even improving your hair. Perhaps that's why my piggies have such beautiful locks!At this point, I had to switch to the serving tray. Now that the leafy greens were done, I moved onto the chunky stuff, such as green pepper. Makoa loves a big slice of green pepper, and I get a kick out of listening to him crunch.Next came the cherry tomatoes and the carrot slices. There aren't a lot of carrot slices in the salad because I have yet to see anyone eat carrot. I was hoping that having slices instead of the whole carrot would entice someone to take a nibble. So far, no such luck! The cherry tomatoes, however, are a joy for Makoa. My very picky Guinea pigs haven't shown much interest in those either. (And finally, I added red pepper slices. This is the first time I've given the group red peppers, and so far, only Butter Stick has shown an interest. She's a spicy little girl and apparently has a taste for something with a mild kick.In the beginning, the salad was enjoyed outside on the screened-in porch, which I use often for floor time. However, it was Apple Butter's first time on the porch, and there are a lot of noises out here. Frogs croaking. Highway traffic zooming by on the other side of the house. Air conditioning unit kicking on and off. The neighbors going about their tree nursery chores. The washing machine gurgling. Birds cheeping, chirping, singing. It's a lot for a tiny Guinea pig to take in, so she mostly hid behind Butter Stick in the tree trunk hidey. I do believe there will be more interested once we go back into the pen, which will be soon... it's getting very warm out here! Summer will soon be upon us, which means the screened-in porch floor time will come to a halt for a few months.Here's a video of me bringing out breakfast like the good obedient owner that I am. Don't be alarmed by the cats. Castiel and Sparta are well-trusted pocket pet friends. They show no ill will towards the little ones. In fact, as I've said before , Castiel is good friends with Makoa.Here's a quick snap of Makoa enjoying his breakfast.Here's Butter Stick about to dive in.And Apple Butter enjoying her first cherry tomato!
