Our new baby has been home for about 2 weeks now, and I've accumulated some questions for all you pros out there that came up after our vet trip. We go back for more shots soon, but I figured I could get some ideas from you all too!
1. I have not seen him touch the dry food he was eating with his breeder. He has a great appetite for his wet food and currently either myself or my boyfriend is home all or most of the day to feed it to him. That may be changing in the next few months with our work schedules, so I want to find something he eats in case it comes up where we might not be home as often a few days a week. Our vet recommended some dry foods (thankfully he has 2 sphynx babes of his own, so I feel very comfortable with his recommendations) but if he hasn't eaten it in so long, how do I transition? Is it safe to just give him a new one? I don't know how to introduce it slowly if he never touches the first one. And how can I guess what he will like?
2. How fast do they grow the first year? He has one sweater that fits appropriately and he loves wearing it while we're home and have a little less snuggle time. The sizes are only a couple inches apart, so I'm wondering if I should just buy the slightly bigger ones to get more use out of them since he's a growing boy?
