So when I picked Toothless up from the breeder she warned me that she was a picky eater.
I didn't think anything of it, Elfie was already on raw and I knew that the transition may be slow but that we would get there in the end.
What I didn't count on was just how STUBBORN this kitten was going to be!
It took me about a week to get over to mostly raw with just a touch of canned more for the smell then anything else. Then Elfie had to have her teeth done and so she was on mostly canned because it was easier for while she was healing and then with all her complications it lasted a little longer then I would have liked.
So when I was mixing Elfie's with canned Toothless could smell it and demanded the same mixture!
I caved and let her have it, thinking that when Elfie went back to an all raw diet so would Toothless.
I was very wrong
Elfie took to the raw again gladly, she loved the raw right from the beginning. Toothless however; well she would rather starve :wideyed:
I'm serious, if that mix is not at least 60% canned she wont touch it! I tried to be stubborn myself and say too bad .. but she started to lose weight so I had to give in!
Elfie has IBD and I cant put her back on canned, but I cant keep up with the 2 separate diets!
What am I suppose to do?!?
Anyone out there with picky eaters, or anyone have trouble transitioning? :banghead:
