Default Flo trying something new...

So Flo has been really fussy lately only eating pellets and dandies! And Ross worked out for me that shes a bit under weight...so I (less than) halved her recommended amount of pellets and let them soak.
Whilst they were soaking I got a couple of big ribwort plantain leaves and ripped them up and added to some warm water and used a hand blender to make a mush (lovely I know! ).
When the pellets were suitably mushy (I like that word..) I added them and blended again! Made a nice plantain/pellet shake! Flo is still munching away...
Nomnomnom!

Mmm this is good...
