Everytime i turn around rhiannon is either chewing on a raw potatoe or raw onion.

is this okay...or does it mean she is missing some vitamin or mineral or something.

i do take them off her, but she finds where i put them....

does she have a blocked nose?

i saw an experiment where this person said that an apple and an onion taste the same if you block your nose.

other than that i know nothing...but i dont think it means she is missing vital minerals or anything.

Experimenting with textures etc

Han always chows down on potatoes... weird kid.

Maybe leave something a bit more appetising in the place where you keep them?

Well the raw onion should definitely clear her blocked nose!

I highly doubt that eating these things raw will cause her any harm, but if you are concerned, then perhaps you could store these things up high and leave other more appropriate snacks in their place, such as apples, bananas carrots etc.

But hey, I guess she is getting her 5+a day this way!
