Thanks for everyones responses.

I am soooooooooooooooo fed up with the poop eating! I have to be on constant watch, never can I just sit and rest -- they seem to know -- when to coast is clear

I had a really hard time getting them to eat - kibble, wet a combo, etc.. I always had to 'doctor' it up somehow. I work full time and wanted them to eat up and poop before I left. I found myself practicly begging TJ to eat.

Anyway, over the past couple of months I decided to cook for them.
This is going good, they like it and eat it up. A couple of problems are:

1. Roxy and TJ could both loose 1 lb - (TJ maybe a 1.5 lbs)

2. Roxy is our little piggy, she will try to eat all day. She eats up her AM food and then goes directly to TJ (he will usually leave a little bit). In this past month, she has gained .5 lbs -- I also leave 2 cut up raw green beans in each of their bowls before I leave. When I come home, everything is gone (poop too)!

3. For combating the poop eating, I am AGAIN trying the S.E.P. (Stop Eating Poop) - the problem with this is the powder has a very strong smell (kinda minty, I can't place what it is right now) - And I also bought some new suplements (made by Springtime: Bugg Off Garlic and Longevity and also the Angle Eyes for those red trar stains) - all in all, adding ALL this powder into the food I cook for them, is making them not want to eat it!

I still have to do some more research on the RAW food approach to feel comfortable feed it to them. I probably would go the Natures Variety way.

Thanks again everyone!
