Try increasing the chunks by 50% If they do well then the next meal increase them another 50%. Keep me posted on how stubborn little Ringo does.

Okay so stay at this size chunk for a few meals until they will both eat it without being scruffed. Keep scruffing them, then hand feeding, etc weaning them off of Your help until they eat it out of the bowl on their own. When they will eat those chunks, then increase them in size again.

Haha no worries that's normal. Keep with it and hand feed where you need to. About how big are the chunks you are offering right now?

i would say about a 1/4 inch. Hes doing a little better now he will at least lick it, but not put it is mouth without the scruffing.

Keep it up with the scuffing and stuffing then, and make sure that he is eating enough of it every day. Also you might try drizzling a little bit of oil over the chunks as well. Are the chunks coated in soup still? If not that could help - mix them into some soupies.

Just enough to make it more enticing. Try to make it a tad bit gloopier than it is already and see how he does. It helps to disguise the chunks a little more.

Good. Keep that up for a few meals and really push him to eat those chunks. Let me know tomorrow or Monday how he is doing. How are the other fuzz doing?

Ringo is eating well now. Casper is being a lil pig, so he's doing fine. Momo is eating just great

Great! Now push them to the next step. You are doing well. Now that they will eat soup covered chunks, start decreasing the soup a little at a time until they will eat just chunks.
