He doesn't seem to want to eat on his own. He seems to get frustrated in not being able to bite at the food and pick up pieces to eat. He gives up and sits there, like he is not interested in trying. I sit and hand feed him pieces and he eats like a maniac, like he hasn't eaten in weeks. As soon as I stop hand feeding and he tries to eat on his own he gives up with in seconds of not picking up food. I have tried smaller pieces, larger pieces, and nothing is helping. Anyone have any ideas or comments or ANYTHING on this? He obviously is hungery and is a good eater, but he needs to feed on his own, am I right? I am getting worried about this little guy! I soaked him today and he seems to be doing well. He drank a little when I put him in. I don't think he knows where his water is or if he tries to drink it. I have placed it near him and motion him to walk to it, but he refused to drink. He also has not pooped. That really worries me. He has eaten good for several days and nothing...Again any help would be great!!! Thanks
