My problem:
Molly (2 years old) is a very-very-very picky eater. After a year of trying all the recommended foods and practically force feeding her we've found one she likes.. Merrick Grain Free Real Texas Beef and Sweet Potato. We also 'entice' her with a scrambled egg mixed in...
Kevin (9 weeks) is a very-very-non picky eater and will clean out any food left in any bowl. He has been on Fromm puppy since he was born but has now discovered Mommy's food is WAY better then his bland puppy food.
We have to feed them in different rooms because Kevin has found out he can eat all of Molly's food then go back and finish his (his nick name is 'Chunky' for a reason). Since Molly is such a picky eater and takes HOURS to finish her food this has turned into an all-day-event.
Merrick is kind of high in protein (38%) which is good for Molly because we are trying to get her to gain some weight.. but Little Kevin probably shouldn't be eating it.
Any suggestions on how to handle this? Its a battle Kevin has been winning for the past week..
We either need to find a way to keep him out of Molly's food... Find a food Molly will finish in one 'sitting'... or start putting Kevin on the treadmill.
Damn dogs!
