My Yuna (11 weeks old) just DOESN'T want to eat the food I'm giving her. I've only had her since Saturday afternoon so I could attribute it all down to new home nerves but, I really don't think it's that.
She'll WOLF down the milk formula I give her but just kind of sniff at the food, maybe put some in her mouth, then spit it out and wander over to play with me.
My Shinya was weird with food too.. she loved her food, but couldn't really be bothered with the milk formula so I had to experiment and ended up taking out the flake things and giving it to her BETWEEN meals - so I was essentially feeding her 6 times a day. Now she's old enough to not need the milk formula and she doesn't need feeding 3 times a day so, life is easier!
I managed to trick Yuna in the beginning by mixing in a little tuna (the kind that comes packed in water) with her food. I poured some of the tuna water on the food and mixed a little of the meat in. That was enough to get her to eat half the food which was better than nothing. But now she's not even falling for the tuna trick! I'm guessing she just doesn't like the food, even though this is the same stuff she's been fed up to now.
Is there anything I can add to the food to make it irresistable to her? Or is it probably just new home nerves and I have to give her some time? I don't want to give her milk until she's eaten her food cause she'll get all stuffed up on it then not be ABLE to eat!
Any ideas?
