My wee lad, Sultan, has been a right pain in the butt to get him feeding. Good news is that today for the first time he ate his pinkie properly!! Just shows that patience pays off. I expect I've spoken too soon and next time he'll play up again!

That's great news!

I'm feeling quite impressed today as Vin took his first feed in his RUB, when we got him on the Tues 4th he hadn't been fed for 7 days and seemed very hungry, so to avoid breaking the settling period I popped a pinkie in his faun (he was on kitchen paper then)on the Friday, but had him out today in his RUB and after a bit of slithering around he ate his dinner nicely can't believe I've had him 10 days now!

We've both got well behaved boys tonight x

Well done! Sometimes you find that when they start taking on their own then it kicks them into feeding regular! Sometimes.... LOL

Goodluck next week!
