Failed herb experiment :(

I took a wander around Tesco hunting for new herbs and leafy green things [emoji16]
I stumbled across Salad Cress in a cute little tub looking all fresh and perfect as a little spoil...

Naturally it didn't really take [emoji2356]

Aww, looks like Athie eventually decided it was worth eating, though! But Zeus doesn't seem impressed with it at all. [emoji38]
Hehehe yea think Athie's resistance got worn down by the pretty greenness [emoji16] but Zeus's little shake after sniffing it again did make me laugh [emoji1787][emoji1787]

Athie has eaten a bit more of it but Zeus is avoiding it like the plague [emoji1787][emoji1787]

I guess Zeus would be happy to never see it again. [emoji38] Sounds like Athie has started liking it somewhat, though!
Yup think you're right, I moved the plate to near where their food bowls are and Zeus has been giving me booty ever since [emoji1787]
Athie does seem to keep going back for a few nibbles and then leaving it.

Does seem like he's only picking the leafy bits off and not nibbling on the rest [emoji848]

Sounds like it's not their new favourite. :lol:
 
You might find if you present it again they might go for it.

Rodney is often highly suspicious of new foods and takes a few goes before he'll try it unless its disguised as something else.

Hmmm maybe I can hide it in their dinner veg [emoji848][emoji16]

The gerbils had no interest in it [emoji15]

I'm starting to think my animals are spoiled fussy brats [emoji2960][emoji1787]

Although it's called salad cress in the shops it's actually sprouting mustard leaves. It can be a bit peppery.I used to grow both in old marg tubs ,cress is much finer with small pointed leaves.Less robust for shops I suspect to move/transport etc.
