| As for weighing down fruit/veg etc, along with veggie clips, I have taken to using one of my mums old plastic knitting needles... Poking the point under the wood or stone etc and then they just chew it right off! |

They aren't too fussed on strawberries though. |

| Don't forget the SQUASH. Lol
My BN Prefer Squash before anything! I can place any other food in with the squash but the squash is always eaten first (scoop seeds out) weigh down with paperclip and sinker attached! |
