For jazz i have ended up buying the harrisons mash and i mix it with oatmeal. That is the only way i know he is getting his nutrients. I hand feed it to him every night. It's like he does not know what food is or he looks at food as something to tear up. It is frustrating!

artemis took months to covert to harrison's when i first brought him home. ivy eats them some days, some days she doesn't. i leave a bowl out all day with them in it so she can eat them between her fresh meals. you just have to keep trying, it will take eventually.

Yes, Very frustrating. How is the Harrisons mash different than taking pellets and grinding them into a powder and adding that to food? Dozy knows when I grind the pellets up and she won't eat the food if she knows

I do the same but the pellets will go untouched. It is very frustrating
