Yesterday I started a feed chnge from APD to the new purina show formula.
Three of my boys ate their regular food and picked at the new,but Finley who normally eats 2 TBS a night only ate the 1/2 TBS of the purina feed.
I was thinking of changing him quicker than normal by upping his amounts every few days instead of once a week.
Do think that will work or should I go ahead and cold turkey switch him?
Please keep in mind he refuses to eat lifeline or any probiatic except those fruit flavored waffers and I only let him have one fourth of one once a week(to much sugar)
If I spinkle anything on his pellets he refuse to eat them at all.
He is a little booger!But I love him.
So quick switch or cold turkey?
 
I'd make sure it wasn't just a fluke and give him the 1/4-3/4 mix again tonight. If it just picks out and eats the Purina again, give him 50/50 and see how he does. Just make sure to provide plenty of hay.
