I've had a nice female crestie since January, and though she's never eaten much, for almost a week now she hasn't eaten at all. I hear people talking about their cresties eating a whole gatorade lid - she just takes a few licks, when she *was* eating. Granted she's only probably 7-9 months old, but it doesn't seem like enough to me. (I have yet to get a gram scale so don't know her weight.)

I've got the T-Rex CGD, and have tried mixing it with peach baby food, as well as applesauce, and offering both of those alone. She hasn't touched anything in awhile now. Obviously I'm getting worried. I'm thinking of buying the Repashy Super foods with nectar additives to try some other flavors, but is this worth it?

She seems perfectly healthy otherwise. Very active, clear eyes and nose, etc.

Along the same lines, I have a 15 gram male who doesn't eat a lot either. I have only had him a few weeks, but he eats only a few licks as well (more than she ever has, but not much total anyway). And don't worry, the two aren't together.

Thanks for any help!!
