| Yorkie eating questions Molly eats very small amounts Of kibble, I leave It down all day but she only eats maybe 10-15 pieces a day. If I mix it with wet dogwood she eats all the wet and picks around leaving the dry. So I tried just dry again and were back to only a piece every now and then. Not sure what to do, I don't want her relying on wet food.

| How old is molly? My little guy is a very good eater. So i have never had this problem. But how big is her food? Cause my dogs food is not too tiny, and so 1/4 of a cup is about 10-15 peices. So as long as she is eating that much she is probably getting enough to eat. ALso how big is Molly? Cause Farley is 8 lbs, and this is how much he eats. As for relying on wet/canned food. I would think if you stop giving it to her for a while, and only give her dry,she will eat it if she is hungry. My other litte dog is a rat terrier who is VERY picky, and used to hold out to see if i would give him something better, but i ONLY gave him dry, and he started eating it cause he got hungry, and had no choice. |

| Molly is around 2.5 lbs and her food is about half the size of my pinky nail, it's pretty small.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | She's 17 weeks right? At that age and weight she is only going to be eating a few tiny tiny meals a day. Since she picks at her food make sure you just leave it down all day where she can get to it. Mine has always done that too. She's 5 now and still picks.
