Here is my Thanksgiving taste tester.
Higgs the hamster was helping with taste testing this Thanksgiving.
We made raspberry upside down cake and he got to eat some of the berries that went into the mix.
The little brat even got a few crumbs of the finished cake and he greedily gobbled it up.
His next challenge was a slightly cracked pecan.
These are too big for him to stuff in his cheeks. It's hilarious watching try to figure out what to do with the pecan while he's in my hand. Typically he would try to store it in his cage somewhere. He has given the ok for the freshness of these pecans.
Next up was to cook the sweet potatoes with a bit of persimon in them.
The taste tester didn't care for the sweet potatoes much but he love the persimon. It was gone in a second.
Interestingly enough the red rams horn snails loved the sweet potato and demolished it in less than an hour. Even the guppies took a couple bites.
The sweet potatoes turned out great.
Higgs also got some cabbage to even out the sweetness of the persimon. He stuffed it in his cheeks too fast for me to get a photo. The Rotkohl turned out amazing.
The last thing left is the turkey. Higgs and the fish are mostly vegetarian so I had to find another taste tester for the turkey.
Beepers the California kings snake loves to eat turkey.
He actually starts pacing around in his cage whenever we cook poultry because he wants a piece of it. Here he is scarfing some white turkey meat. Sure beats eating a frozen mouse.
That's all for now, happy Thanksgiving.
