| Feeding from my hand? Just wondering here...?? Is there anyone else here that hand feeds their baby Yorkie? Lucky loves for me to feed him three or four peices at a time.When he sees me getting his bowl ready for mealtime he sits patiently by my feet and waits for me to pour warm water on his food to soften it a little and then I sit with him on the floor mat and feed him just a few peices at a time in my hand! HE LOVES THIS!! After he has enough..he will get a little playful! Then I will put the remaining over on his food mat for him to nibble on....maybe he will, maybe he won't....lol I really don't mind doing this, I kinda enjoy it too....At least I know how much he is getting in his bellie! P.S. He is only 13 weeks old! Lucky's mom |

| Libbie used to ONLY eat out of my hand for a while. I never mind it either....it was so cute how they nibble on the food and look at you with a their tails wagging... I posted a blog about this a while back about Libbie always and ONLY eating out of my hand. A few people gave some really good tips... Like touch her food bowl so the food has you scent. That way she'll know that its okay to eat. Tried it a few times and now shes eating out of her own bowl most of the time. I still hand feed her from time to time.

| I call it priming the meal... Bently won't go near his food plate... yes, he stopped eating out of his "doggy bowl" about 3 weeks ago and will only eat if the food is on a plate. Even then I have to put two or three pieces of food in my hand and he will eat them. Then I get up and walk away. Sometimes he eats the rest immediately sometimes he waits awhile. If the cat goes near the plate he eats it immediately. And yes....... we all spoil our furbabies,,,,,,,,, but isn't that what we are supposed to do? |
