I think my fulica has OCD... yes, OCD.
After joining this forum and reading a lot of the topics on feeding I've been out and bought Avery a whole bunch of different seeds. To see what he prefers I've ground a spoon of each up and put them in his bowl, along with an unground pile and a mix mush (hemp, sesame and sunflower with pumpkin on the side).
He SEEMS to be interested; while sitting on my hand he was quite happy to slurp up what I gave him (occasionally finding skin
). In his tank though, he shoves his face into the mush, then pulls it out and starts cleaning his foot and shell of residue. It looks very funny... some bizarre kind of snail contortionism.
Now he's sitting there looking a little annoyed at his food, as though its mushiness offends him. Maybe he'll go rasp at the carrot >_>
Are they normally this clean? He doesn't seem to care about being covered in substrate...or, yah know, slime.
[EDIT]
Heh, his annoyed face seems to be his "I'm pooing" face.
