(I have tried mixing with a tiny bit of wet food, softening with water and mashing up trying to get him to eat more but he's just not that hungry I guess)

Yesterday I tried for the first time mixing in a little bit of the Wellness. Well he normally doesn't eat more than, say, 15 to 20ish of the tiny kibbles at a time, and the little stinker picked all the new Wellness kibbles and didn't touch any of the Iams!

I guess I'm just worried that he will get sick since he's eating around the old stuff and I don't want his little belly to hurt --isn't that just like changing his food all at once?? Do you think this will upset his insides or should he be ok? It's hard enough to get him to eat, although we do have nurti-cal on hand he gets a little of that maybe once or twice a day.
That is how my Jeter was when I switched his food. I tried the gradual approach of switching food but ended up just giving him just the new food because that is all he was picking out Also he acted funny about his bowl so I feed him on a little desert plate instead of a bowl. The plate worked like a charm. He is free feed though so his food is alway's out for my "Mr Picky Boy"he still to this day has yet to finnish up a serving completely.
