here we go again.... before jake's hunger strike i offered her a fuzzie, she ate it no probs, it was her 1st one. got her eating again but she will only eat pinkys again now! tryd offering both but always goes for the pinky! least she is eating but she is only gettin 1 evry like 5 days, dont wana offer her too much at once.
because she is not eating loads shes not growing as much as she should, she is about 8-9months old n shud really be on them by now! should i just fatten her up by giving pinkys then try again with a fuzzy when her appitite is better??
hope this makes sence

when she's regularly taking 2-3 pinkies per feed then try her on a fuzzy, but only when she's got into a proper feeding routine again
