ha, ha, I have to agree...it is a conspiracy! Just when I think it's safe...they stop eating!
I've finally figured out that if I stick to my guns, they will eat. I have been really good with picking their food up after about 15/20 minutes. I have noticed that this will get them to come flying into the kitchen when I call them to eat. I also do entice them with some shredded cheese/veggies/rice or something human in their food. I think that I would get bored eating the same foods everyday too.
