Is there anything that your bassets will not eat?

mikiesgirl · 06-13-2010, 11:46 AM

Last weekend I bought some cherries for our boys Chuck and George. I had to travel for business during the week, so I asked my husband to give them the cherries during the week. He was not excited about the idea, because he didn't want to go through the trouble of getting the seed out of each cherry before giving them to the boys. I had to plead with him and told him that George loves to have cherries on a hot summer night. My husband in turn challenged me to name something that the boys do not like. I thought about it for a long time, and couldn't come up with an answer. The boys will eat anything we give to them, apples, banana, watermelon, lettuce, tomato, green pepper, cucumber, blueberries... Basically any fruits and vegetables that we would let them have. I have yet to see them turn down any offerings. Is there anything that your bassets will not eat?

I have never given mine any fruit. I have always been afraid because so much of it is deadly to them such as grapes and raisins.
My Daisy will not eat eggs and my husband thinks it is strange.

Easy question--no, to the horror of my house guests.

Grapes and therefore raisin are only deadly/toxic in quanity

yes I have yet to own a basset that will eat mushrooms, Macey who absolutely loves lettuce spit out mustard greens, she will also not eat an atomic fireball but she has eaten hot peppers, altoids, celery etc.

Rosco and Layla will not try to eat anything bath or ear-cleaning related.

Roxie will not eat pickles or jello. Jello she just plays with and mashes into the floor... I think she doesn't like the consistency. Otherwise with her anything is edible. Beau is a very picky eater and has to check out everything we give him and usually his sister follows him and eats it if he deems it inedible.

toby is strange. if he is supposed to eat it, he turns his nose up and acts picky. if it's human food, he will try and steal it no matter what it is.

Yogi doesn't like italian sausage or clam sauce (just like me!). Other than that I think he will eat almost anything. He always gets a pea size bite of whatever we are eating for dinner. Gunny hates bananas!

We haven't found anything Mercedes or Zatarra won't eat yet, but we have found Zatarra is especially fond of chicken.
