Mine particularly enjoys butternut squash, red bell peppers, collard greens, and bok choy on the occasion I find some. she will eat almost anything but those are her favorites. She will quite literally pick out red bell peppers and eat them first.

How old is she? My Little IT is just over 2 mo. old and hasnt shown interest in veggies yet but I keep putting them in there.

Kale is okay to feed as long as it's feed with another healthy green. When I started 4 1/2 years ago it used to be NEVER feed kale or spinach. They have since let up the restriction on kale as long as it's mixed with something else. Spinach is still the bad one.

I usually pick my greens depending on whats available at the grocery store and what is fresh. They might have what I'm looking for but if they're a little wilted ill look for something else. whatever is most fresh is going to be most nutritious so thats what i get.
And yes, @Edd, just keep putting the veggies in there for yours. 2 months is still young, so it may not be interested quite yet. it'll happen though
