Max ate and drank well - until we went on holiday, in May. Then he became very difficult with both food and water. He's been eating well since he was neutered and had the baby incisors taken out.
He just won't drink, except from the syringe, or from my fingers.
I have seen him licking the wet grass and rain water collected in pots. If I catch him doing this I pull him away.
Our climate is wet, and there are always slugs and snails. I don't want him to eat them.
