I too now find I have to use more toppers to encourage Boots and Baby to eat the ground mixes. Jack is the only one who happily eats the ground and looks at the chunks very questioningly
. I have no extra cats around to hand off their uneaten food to, so they HAVE to eat it sooner or later, which they eventually do, thank god. But I have like 30lbs of chubs in my freezer so they have to keep eating it. Our recent stray rescue (Buddy) who now resides in my BF's shop, is also now starting on raw, so I have been passing along some of the prepped ground to him. Buddy has also taken to it like a champ.
But that barely makes a dent in all the food I have, and his freezer space is VERY limited.
My new order of fortiflora has arrived, so will be trying more with Jack on the chunks using that, since he really loves that stuff. I want him to get the dental benefits of chunks or I wouldn't care otherwise.
So.....this morning I had to chase Boots around the house with his ground which had the freeze dried chicken as his topper, the only one that works with him, but even with that he was reluctant. He finally cleaned the plate, which I knew once he started on it, he would.
So I know it's not like he doesn't like it, just doesn't prefer it.
Thanks to you both, for the reassurance that at least they are eating in a balanced way.
