Taco tried a kind of local fruit yesterday for the first time (it's similar to berries)
He always (!) licks the air when some food is presented, but whether he takes it... Even his favorites, maybe he takes it, maybe not, and him coming over there for a worm, a roach, other tasty food? Maybe, maybe if he likes one right now, but more likely he won't come.

That's actually not a bad idea, if she ran under something she would for sure 10000000% come out for bugs lol.

Taco - no. He's not "food? fooood? I have to eat it!" but more "when I get hungry, I will look if food is around"

Same when I put in a bowl of food: He looks, but he won't come running for the bowl - more like "ah okay, food is here, so I can take some when I might like some later on". Taco is generally not very "food motivated", despite he eats well and enough.

So I was surprised that the tongue was really grabbing the piece of newly introduced food we presented to him

Sinatra and Ruby are not food motivated at all. Zsa Zsa trys to get to my fingers through the glass. I've never had any animal that is as food motivated as she is. I swear if you came to visit and saw how she acts, you would think I don't feed her
