I have tried that and I know they were hungry. They went all night without food and they still didnt eat it. Rena will licks chuncks but she wont eat them. Risa with stash them but wont ever eat them. Rikku has no interest in chunks at all.

Have you made the soup thicker?

I have. If I slowly make it thicker they will eat it. I never keep up with it though. I forget not to add so much water. But I think making it thicker may be the way to go. I will make sure I keep up with it.

They are eating thicker soup. Its more of a mush now. Its not really soup. If I hand feed it to them they will even eat some chunks.

I am now making the soup even thicker. They will still eat chunks if I hand feed the soup. They have not been eating as much,. They dont like the thick soup. I think I just need to keep the soup the way it is for now until they start eating more.

Today they ate chunks on their own. Rikku and Risa ate some big chunks too.

The girls are still not wanting to eat very much. I think they are waiting for me to give in and give them thinner soup. Rikku has started eating more. He is now eating all of the chunks in the soup.

Is mealtime before or after playtime?

They get one meal before playtime and one meal after playtime. Risa and Rena have started eating more again. They just ddont want me to watch. Once I start watching they will stop eating. Rikku still eats a lot. And I weighed their food and they eat around 5 oz a day.
I just weighted them. Risa and Renas weights are back to normal. They had lost a couple oz but they gained that back. Rikku is gaining weight but its not back to where is was. Hes not skinny. Hes still fat. He was really fat before. So the girls must be eating all the food I leave in their cage and Rikku must only be eating when Im watching.

GRRR. I just found a lot of their food stashed in their feeding den box. So they are not eating as much as I thought. I have no idea how they gained weight. Maybe they dont need to eat very much.

So I have not been feeding them new food until they eat the food that they stashed. They do go back and eat the food that they stashed. Rikku has gained a little more weight and Risa and Rena weight the same so I think they just dont need as much food as I have been feeding them. The food that they get I have not been adding any water too. Its really thick. They have been eating all of the chunks in it.

That sounds good! It is spring now, so they're not going to be eating like they were when they needed to pack on the weight for winter.
