Thanks, Kathy. I have her on some pellets that have a fruity aroma and
they're also fruit-colored, including dark berry...so that explains
it. Occasionally I mix some nuts and seeds in with the pellets as well
as giving her raw baby carrots and apple slices. I'll add new fruits
and veggies at the next trip to the grocery store and see what she
likes.
