Raw minced beef or lamb sometimes does the trick too. Once they're eating something (anything) then you can start adding the things you think they should be eating

Have you tried putting food into his mouth? I find that helps reluctant eaters to get the idea, and sometimes they seem to find it easier to eat off the (clean) floor initially, rather than a bowl. (no, i don't encourage this in the long term!!)
well it's lactol and because i've been having to syringe feed as a top up cos of mum i think he's enjoyed it too much!!

tried the food in mouth, the look of disgust on his face said it all LOL x

i had some raw down for mum and he didn't like the smell, so i'll stick with cooked, may try the cooked fish tomorrow, seeing as missy misdemeanor is in call she won't be trying to nick anything i try to feed him lol x

got some mats for under the bowls, i'll pop one of those down and try and feed him off that x

thank you for the ideas hunny xxx

(oh by the way, your food went out today, did half today, the others tomorrow - finally got out this house as i had to do food shopping LOL) xx
