ANIMAL PLANET: What is Jessica's diet like these days? Are there any foods she still dislikes?

TONIE JOUBERT: Jessica still loves the food we give her. We have changed her diet, but she's still on the sweet potatoes. She eats a lot of sweet corn. We have a sweet corn farmer here who has sponsored us with sweet corn. And we give her crushed maize (crushed yellow corn), into which we add dolomite lime, which helps her digestive system. This is going down very, very well.

As for her dislikes, we have tried to get her to eat alfalfa or lucerne, which most hippos love. But Jessica won't touch the stuff.

But she's doing very, very well. For her protein supplement, we give her dog pellets, with which she's also doing very, very well.
