Thor's Human Donating Member | Hi there! How old is your girl? I have a 2 1/2 male who is 4 lbs. If I remember my conversion rates correctly, that makes him around 1.7 kgs. Anyway, he is incredibly picky. He runs around like a cheetah and very skinny, but he only eats about 100 calories / day. I couldn't believe it, but he's maintaining his weight. He only eats his kibble (Barking At The Moon) as a last resort. I've tried a couple kibbles with him and he goes crazy for them at first, but then after a week, he's done. He primarily subsists on treats, so I try to make sure that they are good quality and nutritious. FYI, he never liked Natural Balance. I had to heat it up and mix a whole bunch of stuff into it and MAYBE he would eat some. |

| NB Potato and Duck comes in small bite size kibble, about half the size of their regular size kibble. NB also makes rolls of "wet food". See if the pet store has the very small roll, about the size of a couple of cocktail "franks", so you do not have to buy a large roll and not use most of it. Check the NB website to see if they have the small rolls available.
