Try a veggie mix! Or try frozen veggies! You could try babyfoods in veggies! But everybody has a different opinion on babyfood! I use it everyother day for a veggie myself and my gliders are healthy! Well thats all I can think of!

Mine aren't crazy about veggies either. In fact, I guess you could say they are just like most two year olds - if it's good for them they aren't gonna eat it.
I also have to trick mine with baby food about 5 nights a week. Mine will "kill" for corn, but they don't get it very often - about once every two weeks. At my house, we don't count that as a glider veggie.
There are also times when they are really cranky about fruits and it is challenging to find something new and different.
All I can say, is a glider's diet can be very frustrating if you have picky eaters like we do.
Just keep trying. Sometimes they will eat it and sometimes they will not.
Just make sure you keep them on something else balanced to make sure they stay healthy.

If you mix veggies in the bleender most gliders will eat that just fine.

I agree with the frozen veggie thing. Also, I heard that what you can do is offer more veggies and less of the other. That way it leaves them less choice. Sounds cruel I know, but they need them. smile
