Title: Yayyyy Indie isn't fussy anymore!
Post by: Magic Star on June 05, 2004, 08:19:52 PM
:D Just had to share this with you, since I have made such an issue out of the fact Indie is a fussy drawers :oops:   Since her season, Indie eats everything I give to her :lol:   She no longer sniffs at her food, then walks off in disgust :wink:   Its such a joy to watch her eat her dinner now, I am really pleased with her!  Shes even put on weight, not too much, but she is just perfect now 8)

That's really good news Emma, it is nice knowing they enjoy they're food. :wink:
Just hope it stays that way and she doesn't turn into a gannet like Lottie :roll:

hi emma ,

i know the relief when they start to eat normally, it took my mellow 3 seasons to start wolfing her dinner down, now she is first at the bowl in the morning, and she is looking goooooood,  and her coat is very glossy but i also changed the shampoo so i thinck that is the cause of that,

That's excellent news - picky eaters can be such a pain!  Brogan still likes his naturediet (good job cause he's not getting anything else) :lol:  But we are back to sniffing the bowl and walking off.  I have always fed him am and pm - with all his skipped am feeds (he has 20 mins before it is whipped away)  we are down to one meal a day.  He should be eating about 1.5 packs a day - we are lucky to get through just over half!  He's athletic looking - definitley not skinny - yet :cry:  so am not worried too much.  Today I am not even going to offer him brunch - will leave him until tea - like to keep us on our toes - don't they.

Maybe a chocolate surprise arriving on the scene will change his eating habits :lol:  :twisted:

That's great Emma! :D  As you know Blue is a picky eater too and to watch him gobble down a full meal would be heaven! :roll: So I know how happy you must be feeling :D

Hi Emma. Funnily enough, I was about to post about exactly the same thing! Suddenly in the last week or so, Pickle has dropped his fussy act, and is gobbling down his breakfast and tea, which is great  :D . It's so satisfying to see a licked-clean bowl  :wink: !!!
Obviously being a boy, it's not season-related, but I think stopping his lunch portion has made all the difference, so he's now on 2 meals rather than 3.
How long it will last is another issue, but for now, hoorah for enthusiastic food-munching!!!
