more pellet advice please
« on: January 31, 2012, 09:08:53 PM »

Boomerang has stopped eating the pellets  :baseballbat:
I had a good week but feel we've gone back a step or two. :nono:
I stopped all food apart from his toast in the morning to get him onto the pellets. Last week i introduced an evening meal of pasta, veg, sprouts or a bit of fruit and he's stopped eating the pellets for the last few days. :panic:
I think i should just give him some breakfast so he's forced to eat the pellets for the rest of the day. What do you all think?

you could try protending to eat them yourself this encourages boo to eat them himself, you could cut down hes portion size because no grey would starve themself.

how much pellets do you put in he's bowl?
