Since splats had EC a couple of months back he has really gone off his dry food....... I have tried him on numerous brands lately and he doesn't seem that interested and if I give him one of the mix foods he will just pick out a few bits........
As he really loves peanuts, this morning I did a little test and rubbed a peanut onto an excel pellet to give it the smell of peanuts and he ate it....so then I tried grinding up a couple of peanuts to a powder and mixing it into the food but he was not to be fooled....I also mixed some Exel into a little bit of mashed banana but he didn't look too impressed with that either.
He will eat all his veg which I give him each night, but I am a bit worried that if he is not eating his dry food he is going to lose more weight when really he needs to put more back on and won't be getting all the nutrients he needs. He does eat his hay but even this he is not really eating as much as he used to.
Does any one have any ideas how I can get him to eat his dry food, or any other advice that might help ?
Many Thanks
Alice
