Try adding warmed cooked potato peelings or mashed potato, or a few grapes, squashed tomato, anything that they go potty for. They might still be getting used to all this "new stuff" and it might take a while before they're really interested. Don't worry too much, if they're hungry, they'll eat

porridge...with sweetcorn, raisins, poultry spice...and any other goodies you have lying about. Mine go MAD for it - I'm convinced they'd eat me if I slathered myself with it!!

Mine don't particularly like mashed potato, or their pellets soaked. Spoiled brats!!!
