the vet is concerned about peter but not clara! they think peter should of gained
more wieght then he did. he doesn't like the soup wether i warm it up or not all he
does is wrinkle his nose up at it and walk away. we do hand feed him the kibble and
noticed he doesn't eat the totally ferret kibble at all even hand feeding. he won't
touch the a/d at all he doesn't even like ferretone. he shows no signs of an ulcer
and the vet doesn't think he has one either. he looks and feels like he is starving but
their is plenty of food around for him to eat. clara is just a big girl. he still is 2
ounces under the weight when we got him little over a year ago. will feeding him
just staight iams kitten be bad or harmful . it's the only thing he eats on his own!
i've tried every soup recipe i could find with every version of baby meat i can get.
the lamb he doesn't wrinkle up his nose to but he still won't eat it. forcing him is the
only way to get him to try anything other then the iams kitten. thinking maybe if i
just give him the iams he will eat a little more then the mix of totally ferret & iams
kitten.
