: : problem number 1)lucy has started jumping from the shower curtain to the tub wall and falling 4-5 feet to the bottom, i'm afraid she'll get hurt, why would she keep doing that? It looks painful, you'd think she'd learn!!!!

: this is where the interaction from you come in, place your hand there as you watch her, they are creatures of habit, be there for her, BEFORE she goes to the wall, as an interceptor, then place her back on the top, she will go on and on like this for as long as she wants to play there, in the meantime, she isn't hitting the bottom..

: : problem number 2) of all the foods i cut up and feed to the little fellas, they only eat their meat, glideraide and juice (baby juice with carrats or sweet potatoe) and yogurt mixed with carrots or sweet potatoe. their fruits and veggies are all over the bottom of the cage. they don't eat briskies, leadbeaters or mazuri. I've heard yogurt causes cataracts from cynthia, where to i research that at?

: I have seen this so many times, If you offer them fruit juices on a regular basis, then they will fill up on that, I have found that with offereing her all the sweet things they like, they won't eat the things they should, if offering corn and juice NOTHING else would get eaten..or very little, It sounds to me though that you are over offering everything, What are you offering her in lets say 1 night.. lets say tonight? that way we can help you, with how to balance out..
: Most kids, if offered pizza AND a 4 course meal, will eat the pizza, then the dessert..

I have a cottage cheese lid i fill with grapes, apples chicken and briskies covered with repcal and gold dust, then i have a little bowl (about 1/8 to 1/4 cup) that i alternate with glideraide one night(they eat all that) then leadbeaters the next night (mixed with juice) that they don't touch at all. then i have three little cups (two tablespoon size) that i hang up high, cup one has 1 tablespoon cherry flavored yogurt and 1 tablespoon baby carrots or yams(they eat all of that) cup two has applejuice with carrots or nectur,(they drink all that) and cup three has zoo fare (they barely if at all touch that) they seem to get enough protien and calcium (from yogurt which is scaring me if it does cos cataracts!!! I've only heard about it from one person!!!!) but they don't seem to touch much of their fruits or veggies. in the wild they mostly eat bugs and mice and birds so are they eating naturally?
