any stone fruits, melons (mine love kiwi fruit), beans, steamed carrot, etc. The only thing NOT to feed them is acidic stuff, like citrus, capsicum, cabbage,
etc.
Your EY's will have a go at the veggies, as will all your Africans.

And make sure you wash them to make sure there is not pesticides or dirt.

Anything hard - carrots, pumpkin, etc can be steamed. Zucchinni I slice lengthwise and stab with a fork, the weight of the fork makes the zuc sink. The object
is to get the food to sink so the bristles can get to it easily. Soft stuff can go in raw. Frozen peas I thaw out and squish. The shells are sometimes too hard
for the cats to get into.
