Biting !

Too funny Dantes! And, oh so true! Between Lotto and the chickenwire we used to make his enclosure, I've been having to 'explain' all the scratches on my arms and legs! LOL!

Thanks for the laugh

Wow...I've typed this response 3 times, and twice Lotto ran over my keyboard and deleted it....then once it just changed screens. Let's try this again.....

Jacq, it may be that he is still hungry. And I am certainly open to suggestions. So far, meat (raw or otherwise) seems to literally repel him. He gets within 3 in of it, smells, then rears his head and neck back, and starts walking backwards. If I mix it in with his kibble, he won't touch it. Same with eggs, fruits, veggies, bread, pasta, sauce or gravy, ad nauseum. Repeat with multiple brands of wet food and kitty treats. Heck, I'm even having difficulty changing him from the baby to the kitten kibble. He WILL eat the freeze dried chicken after a round of 'play', however.....but not at other times.

Someone on my food thread did suggest grinding the kibble with the meat, so I'm going to try that. I will also try sprinkling the Whole Life dust on some food when I get it in the mail.

I did speak with his breeder (who is also a vet) about this, because I was concerned. She mentioned that perhaps his tastes would change with age.

So any suggestions are greatly appreciated for a picky eater. But, I hate to hijack this thread for that.....

I certainly would love to find something he will eat....trust me! I hate to think he may be walking around hungry.

Have you tried Ziwipeak dried meat cat food? It has a very strong smell that my cats can't resist. They love the venison one.
