Hello! I feel like I have a new inquiry every day lately.
My buddy Vern is being a little turd the last few days. He came to me from a home where he was fed whatever he was willing to eat. (When I picked him up he was enjoying canned peaches and a handful of dry pellets).
I tried offering a mixed up plate of yummy foods (Collared, Romaine, Turnip Greens, Mustard, Red Leaf, Carrot, Bell Pepper, Acorn Squash, Mazuri, cherry and raspberry) and he snubbed me. Today I tried laying things out separate to get an idea of what he might not like and he ate two raspberries, gave me the stink eye and then walked away.
My Question: What has worked best for you - tough love or weaning off of junk food and on to a healthy diet? Also how long can I let him hunger strike before I should be concerned?
