Good topic! When I first got Wosie at 8 weeks I only fed her twice a day, and she got pretty round, so I cut her portions back a little and she did great. Now just recently at 4 months she has decided she no longer likes her food. I am getting pretty frustrated, and have begun to try different toppings (mashed carrots, low-fat parmesan cheese, wet food) and after the intial novelty wears off, she turns her nose up. I am about to go to the store tomorrow to get a bunch of dry samples to see if I can find something she enjoys, but am afraid that she will have a hard time. My other two were pretty dang fussy, and we had to mix wet and dry and only use special bowls, lol.
I free-feed Wosie about a cup of food per day, but she only eats a little over a half of it. She weighs 3.5 pounds, and has a tummy, not thin YET.
Good luck! I will be watching this thread to see what others say.
