For Lou .......Derek :) x

Derek is a gorgeous little boy , he is still only 140g and not a very big eater , he doesn't eat any dry biscuits , he eats a few dried mealworms , a bit of chicken and I have been giving him a bit of wet cat food to try and tempt him to eat but I think he only licks it . He has an adorable character , very rarely huffs . I sat with him in the garden for 10 mins today and took a few pics

Bless him - have you tried the Applaws cat food Jo ?

No ive not helen , I did try royal canin bit he still turned his nose up. Do you mean the applaws dry or wet Helen ?? X

The wet one Jo - I used to get it for the tenrecs x

he is gorgeous!!!! xx

Hey Derek, come on now and start eating up properly so you'll grow into a hoggie gladiator, same as Iory

Jo, does he not eat any biscuits at all?

hi melody , no he won't touch any biscuits , I always count how many I put in and they are still there in the morning , I even bought some royal canin kitten biscuits , I know they are not really meant to have kitten ones because of the fat content but I thought because they are a slightly smaller biscuit he might try them ..... But no he's such a fussy thing xx

Try some Tiger Asda Biscuits Jo - worked wonders for Pudding features x

i will thanks helen x

I cant believe he wont eat any biscuits because that is what he had here lol how is he with his mince and chicken ?

lovely pictures Jo x

He eats a tiny bit of mince and chicken just not very much , I've tried encouraging him with wet cat food but he just licks that , he has no interest in food at all , he drinks really well and he potters around his cage at night but just a small eater he is such a gorgeous little boy Lou , he is so laid back and loves his tummy tickled x

awww .. bless him ... flower was very picky but she soon made up for it ... keep a eye on him and keep me updated Jo will give you a ring over the next few nights as I have a couple of days off x

Thanks Lou , I'm Hopeing he will make up for it soon x

I want him to as he was ok at eating when he was here .. didn't see him as a picky eater ....like to no whats happening .x

Yes I don't know why's he has turned fussy !! Lol x

he does things with you that he has never done with me lmao x

I took away billies mealworms, and sure enough after 2 night he ate his biscuits! ! The whole bowl xx

You have to be cruel to be kind x

Yeah I think this might be the best option for Derek .. his mother was just out eating her way through some live mealies and some biscuits ..

Sorry I've not been on today so only just seen this post , this is a pic of Derek's tea tonight , he has it on a small plate as he is so small he struggled with dishes , there are 10 biscuits , a tea spoon of wet cat food and a spoon and a half of chicken and veg . I have removed all his mealworms . X
The plate looks quite big in the photo bit it's only small

hope he eats some xx

hope he eats some xx

Me too jake , he's a fussy little man with a big attitude xx

He is a lucky boy .... be interesting to see what he eats x
