Yep, tried both...he won't do more than lick it off

I heat it in a plastic bag in a bowl of warm water...is that okay? He won't even touch it cold/room temp.

Meat starts to cook at 116 F( ie why a mircowave defrost can start cookin the meat) .... so for us that is just warm... or at least me as my fish tanks are about 80 and it is still a bit cold... You may want to try a homemade diet with him instead of raw

My only response is


I've thought about making homemade but really would rather do raw IF I can get him to eat it. Maybe I'll try re-introducing raw to him a little at a time in his wet food and see what happens. He was eating it well until I tried giving him beef. The first time that I gave beef to him he threw up and seems to have lost enthusiasm since then( I'm sticking to chicken with him for now).

I figured out a way to get Tucker to eat his food!

I crushed a couple of Wildside Salmon kitty treats between my fingers and sprinkled it on top. *POOF* Just like that the food all vanished! YAY!!!
*fingers crossed that it keeps working*
