Well Cisco has become a part of the family-he is so playful, smart and loving.
I'm kinda wondering though- the breeder fed him eaukanuba (sp?) and thats what i have been feeding him...only he wont go to his dish (yes it's easy for him to reach etc) but when i place a kibble (or 2) in front of him he picks it up, runs off and chews it. I don't know if this is like a game to him, or if i'm starting a bad habit, but he won't eat it from the dish, only if i place a morsel or two in front of him..
Also he weighs 2 pounds, and only eats about 3 to 4 table spoons of the kibble a day, not sure if that is enough or not, but he won't eat any more than that.
Any ideas?
TIA
