Now, John is 8 months old and was a non feeder. I have had him since march and although he has always fed for me he is not really putting on weight. I was feeding every 5 days with 1 pinky then we moved to 2 pinkies every 7 days. I have tried to get him on to fuzzies but he is not interested in them, he has eaten the odd one here and there with legs removed but usually refuses them so I give him 2 pinkies. The problem is I can't see him gaining weight while eating pinkies. And if he doesn't gain weight and grow he is not going to except fuzzies. Would moving him to 2 pinkies every 5 days help with weight gain or is this going to be to much? He seems active and is pooing fine though I am not sure of his eye sight as previously posted.
Not had this problem before all my others have happily moved from pinks to fuuzzies |

Try a pinkie followed by a (small) fuzzie if all else fails. |

I have tried that during the day and left it over night but he is still not interested. I did wonder whether the smell or feel of a fuzzy feels threatening to him, especially if he does have eye sight probelms, and the smell or feel of a pinkie is no threat what so ever.
Could I do double pinkies every 4 days? I know this is alot but at least he would be getting almost double amount of food in a week. Two pinkies together only way 3g, so it would be like the equivalent weight wise to a large fuzzy. |

Have you tried leaving him in a tub with a fuzzy somewhere quiet and dark for a while? |
