Welcome to YT! You sure have a little cutie there.
It's not unusual for yorkie pups to nibble on their food all day long instead of getting serious & eating a meal. It's actually a good thing as they are keeping a little food in their tummies on all day which helps to maintain their sugar levels. At this age, it would also be good to soak the kibble to make it easier for them to eat. His gums are going to be pretty sensitive for the next few months from teething. Everything is new to him in his new home, so be patient with the changes you want to make. Be sure to check out the Health & Diet section of YT! You'll get many helpful ideas there also. I use to keep Roxy's kibble down for her all the time, so she could eat whenever she wanted. She was definitely a nibbler. She would get 2-3 pieces in her mouth, carry them to another part of the room & eat them there. It's quite common. It's also common that it may take awhile to find a good diet for him to find the brand he does like, so don't buy large bags until you find the right one.
Good luck with you little one. He's got lots to learn about life, and will give you many laughs & smiles along the way. Lots of help here, so don't hesitate to ask questions. |
