Hmm...bad eating habits? Hi everyone! I'm a 3rd week Morkie owner and so far I've run in to a few different problems with Teddy's eating habits. 1.) He'll only eat if I'm next to him... 2.) When he does eat...he'll only eat HALF of what I give him, which is half of 1 1/4 cup. 3.) I recently switched him from Iams to Avoderm (using the 75/25 method) ...and he'll sniff it but will have nothing to do with it. So I started cutting up little bits of his favorite treat and sprinkling it in the food. This gets him to eat it ...but STILL ONLY HALF of 1 1/4 cup and ONLY if I sit next to him!! He is 3.5 months old and I only feed him 2x a day, morning (9AM) and evening (5PM). Do you think I should start feeding him 3x a day now since he's only eating half of what is recommended for him? I don't feed him treats in between feedings...but I don't want him to starve. :( By the way, he is 5.6lbs and the vet says he's okay when I told her he hasn't eaten for a whole day and when he does get to play he doesn't last very long, maybe about 30 mins and he has to take a nap. Please help. :) |
If Im reading correctly he is eating 3/4 a cup of food per feeding. That is plenty of food. You do want to feed him 3 times a day untill he is an adult then go down to 2 |
1 1/4 cup sounds like an awful lot of food for a 3.5 month old morkie. My morkie, Cooper is 9.5 pounds and 2 years old and eats less than 1 cup per day. Where did you get the 1 1/4 cup serving size? Also, why did you switch food? |
