: Elvira only wants to eat the following foods: chicken, corn, watermelon, leadbeaters, spaghetti (or anything italian off the table), peas, carrots, boiled eggs, worms, or baby formula. I swear, I cannot get the little brat to eat anything else. If I give her only fruits and veggies, hoping to force her to eat them, she just won't eat at all.

At first my glider wouldn't eat fresh fruit either. Try this mixture. Mine love it and a bowl kept in the fridge lasts several days. Mix baby food applesauce and pears,baby cereal and plain yogurt(for calcium), honey, baby apple or pear juice, glider aid, and glider vit(helps prevent back leg paralysis later on)just a sprinkle. One of my little girls prefers this over fruit any day. Dehydrated fruits really aren't good for them because it uses up their body's natural water content. If this doesn't work try feeding the baby food fruits by themselves. Each glider has his own individual tastes so experiment,experiment,experiment!
