yeah, experiment a bit, get a few rolled grain mixes and other things
from
the bulk health food bin in the grocery store.. (just little bits to try,
see if he likes them.. then can get more of what he likes later) there
are
a variety of different oats and grains available, flax seed is good to add
in small amounts. add one thing at a time, give him a few days with them,
see if he eats them and if they bother him any.. remove the things he
doesn't like or that seem to make things worse. things that work well,
add
to your regular mixture and try adding something new...
good luck
