HELP! i brought a huge 3kg bag of innova(about 6.5lbs) to try and improve thier diet since they have been eating friskies for the past year or so. thing is charli eats it, but mickey doesn't! i really want mickey to eat it since its better for him and it cost me $45!!
i've mixed a wee bit of purina one in it (i know they eat that) about 50/50 with innova and mickey has had a nibble at it, (but i think hes picking out the purina kibbles)


does anyone know how i can make mickey eat the new food? i'm mixing it with the old food but do you thiink i should mix less innova with purina(cuz at the moment i'm feeding them 50/50 so maybe 10innova/90 purina?)

do you think he will eventually eat innova even though he doesn't eat it now?

do you think if i add water to it to make it mushy might help? (make him think its wet food)

please help!

Yes, I think 10%Innova/90% Purina might be good to start with if he is being very picky...gradually increase the Innova a little bit every few days and decrease the Purina. Good luck.

From what I understand, you're supposed to change foods gradually... so doing the 90% Purina/10% Innova to start is a good idea.
I think the more gradually you go, the easier it will be to get your kitty onto your food of choice. If you switch it too quickly, your kitties can have tummy troubles too.

Good luck!
