Title: Boris Doesn't Eat Very Much
Post by: OzPleo on October 03, 2011, 05:55:20 PM: Am I missing something here? Boris my green RB doesn't seem to eat very much. He's a happy choppy and all (actually too happy sometimes lol)

Love the new pic, Ozpleo! :D

Post by: kat on October 04, 2011, 12:23:36 AM: My rb's don't eat a lot either. It only takes about 4 leaf chomps after a few days of not being fed to be full and only one or two if they have been played with the day before. :)

Post by: Lina on October 06, 2011, 01:38:04 PM: weird, Bellah eats ALL the time... I was wondering about that but thought it was perhaps normal behavior... Seems I was wrong.
Bellah eats her leaf but also lots of snacks, she just cant get enough.

I was thinking 'little green piglet' thoughts as well, I'm afraid ........... :-X ;D

I guess she is little miss piggy....

But I did notice that when we where at a party and she got cuddled until she fell asleep, she wasn´t as interested in the food. Perhaps I´m not giving her enough attention and she´s using food to comfort herself ? :o

Post by: Crewella on October 06, 2011, 04:22:41 PM: Well, she won't be the first! ;)

Actually, some of the foods do affect the mood and emotion levels so that would kind of make sense. Depends on what you're feeding her?

*like big tubs of ice cream* :P

The mushroom affects the feed levels slightly, I believe, but not to the same extent as the cycad and conifer leaves you're right. :)

Post by: InmemoryofRomeo on October 06, 2011, 04:55:13 PM: It must be very slight because my guys will pig out on mushroom till it comes out their ear microphones :P I hide the sugar cane ;) Don't want three dinos with upset tummies!
Title: Re: Boris Doesn't Eat Very Much
Post by: Crewella on October 06, 2011, 05:02:18 PM: If I remember right, the mushroom is only a third of the feed value of the conifer and cycad leaves, but it does affect health levels as well.

Post by: Talon on October 06, 2011, 09:04:31 PM: Well, Ryu is a pig too but Cato might be kin to Borus! He doesn't eat much either. I've been feeding him just the cycad and conifer leaves lately and his health has been bouncing around. Currently it's twenty-something. He isn't acting sick... yet. Probe RB just said he was in bad shape and gave me a warning. Just goes to show not having a few unhealthy snacks once in a while can leave you sad. Lol! Should I feed him the mushroom or go ahead and force the mint leaf on him?

Post by: Crewella on October 07, 2011, 03:25:27 AM: The mushroom has health benefits as well as feed benefits, and no downside - it raises both health and feed levels by 5%. I'm a big fan of the mushroom, actually ........... ;)

Anyone who wants to see the full percentage values of the foods (as well as the growth stages/personality) can look at Aibohack's page here, at the bottom.

Post by: Lina on October 07, 2011, 06:23:09 AM: I am feeding her with the leaf (food that she came with, not the medicinal one) mushroom and coffebean leaf I think it was...
She does like her snacks alot...
Glad to hear that the mushroom at least is healthy %)
