One of our girls seems to have gone off treats. We offer a pumpkin seed in the morning and either a pumpkin seed or piece of flaked pea on the evening but she seems to have little interest in either. She still plays with the others and we have seen her eating hard feed and greenery. She hasn't lost any weight and seems otherwise happy. Should we be worried or is it just a bit of a quirk?

If she's still eating normally, I wouldn't worry. Mine change tastes constantly. What might have been the best thing ever one week, can be something they turn their noses up at the next.
Same as us, too - don't we go through phases too?

Definitely try some different treats first. I think it's nice to make the most of the wide variety that is safe for them and give them different things each day.

How long has it been that she has refused pumpkin seeds and flaked peas? Just once so far or has this been going on for several days? No need to worry if it is just this one time but if it goes on for several days, it might be an early sign of a teeth issue.
It is good that she hasn't lost any weight; however, if there is a spur, it is best to deal with it before any major weight loss — so watch for other signs like drooling, grinding of teeth, and pawing at her mouth.

We tried sunflower seeds and everyone seemed totaly enamoured with them so I think maybe she just has a lower boredom threshold than the others. We will have to see if we can get some more "finger sized" seeds and treats for them and mix it up a bit more often.
