I started Tookie on NV Raw medallions Beef Formula (because he loved Natural Balance Beef Rolls) and he inhaled the medallions for a couple days. We were doubling his servings because he is skin and bones and we had great success each time. Then after a week he is starting to get picky and doesn't always eat his food right away. Sometimes I have to break off a piece and lay it out for him to interest him to the bowl. With raw, this is bad because you can't leave the food out for more than 30 mins. The directions say to throw out any left overs after 30 mins so I can't leave it out for him to pick at.

Do you think I should buy another bag of medaliions in another flavor and rotate for variety? Do you think he's getting sick of the taste. If so, what flavor do your yorkies like (chicken, rabbit, venison) because he HATES lamb! Also, the NV website says to rotate with their dry kibble for variety. Do any of you have picky yorkies that will eat their kibble? If so should I get prairie or instinct? Sorry for the long post but any insight is greatly appreciated.
