What do I do with this?

I received some gorgeous cherries in my organic fruit box this week, and as the boys weren't here to share, I thought George and Misty might like some, well, one.

As you can imagine, when it comes to food, the rat wastes no time in getting stuck in. However, George seemed a bit confused. The first bit to be tried was the stalk. Now, this isn't my idea of a treat, but maybe if you're a chinchilla.......

After eating most of the stalk, he finally found the tastiest bit. Maybe he was just saving the best for last.
