| Yeah that's what I've started doing but the big one eats so fast he finishes first and the smaller one won't continue then lol |

| The breeder actually told me that's what she used to with him and his sister and he would still go eat out of his siater's side with her lol. But I guess that was a long time ago and maybe it's worth a shot to try again |

| Ok, might be a bit extreme, but with Yorkies...What if you put food down for little one and then dole out food for the other? I mean, they're both eating at the same time, but you're determining how much and how quickly your "big" guy is eating, so they can finish at the same time. Does that make sense? |

| Oh, indeed, one hopes this is only temporary, for sure. And would if you put out (on plate) all of the food for the little guy and then only parcel out food for our Mighty Mite, by dropping bit by bit on his plate, yes, no, maybe? I'm glad you experienced some success, you determined little cookie, you! |

| I think they think it's a game or something lol. They won't eat it if I drop it onto two separate plates or if I just hand them one each. I literally have to TOSS them one each and they run and eat it. I try to take my time tossing the bigger ones so they finish at the same time. I'm also breaking his pieces in half so he's eating a half to every one that my other one is eating. Lol so crazy! Thanks for all the advice everyone! |

| Your pets are cute. My Yorkie is in the process of losing a weight too. I now give him enough food that won't cause him to gain weight. He was born loving to eat. His matabolism slowed down, and I had to adjust. I love him, and I can't allow him to keep his bowling pin shape. I would feed them out of their own bowls. Dogs won't let themselves starve. I had to stop free feeding my Shih Tzu, because my Yorkie would move over and eat her food too. Last edited by JoshieBoy; 08-25-2016 at 11:44 PM. |
