Re: food intake
When you say raw diet with jwb, is that dry Jen? And are they being fed at the same time? What aid the basis of the raw that you're feeding?

Re: food intake
Do be careful mixing raw and kibble - they have different digestion rates so it can cause an unhappy tum

Re: food intake
The jwb and raw have completely different digestion times, and shouldn't be fed together, so this may be making her a little uncomfortable. Is there any reason why you've continued with the jwb and not gone straight onto raw? Especially if she doesn't like it.. I'd donate the rest of the bag to a rescue centre and just feed raw personally.

Re: food intake
I totally agree with rach, get rid of the kibble and feed complete raw. at 7 months once a day feeding is probably ok, I feed twice a day but I know lots who only feed one per day

Re: food intake
No problem Which raw bits is she being picky with, just out of interest? Biscuit doesn't like raw chicken and won't touch it! She's happy with all other animals though!
