We have 2greys one who is very fussy & can even get spooked by food at times. He is most settled on his greyhound kibble mixed with raw pet mince twice daily. Due to our lack of freezer space & sometimes difficulty in getting the mince from the butchers we chose not to feed our other grey the same. She still has the same kibble but has half a tin of pedigree chum with her breakfast & then gets the raw mince with her evening meal. They were both just on kibble at first but when Rolo stopped eating with no medical reason we tried lots of things & this is what he is most settled with. We changed Stars food as she was always wanting to see what Rolo had which was better than hers. After spending a day at the Pedigree Centre we were offered a trial of food. They both refused the dried food as the kibble required chewing due to its size but Star liked the wet food with her dry regular kibble. We have tried other tinned foods but most are often too rich for her or the meat content is very poor so we have stayed with the Chum. Not noticed any real changes in behaviour but they are all different. They have the occasional fishy treat both or a cooked rabbit if we see them on offer but they seem fine on the mix. It's a bit of trial & error to find what works for yours & then it's a case of sticking to it. It can be very easy to want to offer variety but often it is not required. Even us humans have our trusty favourite foods we will keep going back to, such as chocolate!

Having recently read Jeff's problem with Carla chewing things and Ruth's advice to stop mixing tinned meat in with her Burns, we may be experiencing a similar problem. Until several months ago, our 5 greys were fed Burns Sensitive Pork & Potato for their breakfast & their tea...usually with chicken or tuna mixed in. However, as l said, several months ago we changed their breakfast diet to tinned meat...mainly for speed and convenience, but also because they really seemed to enjoy it ( l must point out that they love the Burns as well ) but we also thought it would give them a more varied diet. However, we have seen a big change in their behaviour and temperament. They have become very hyperactive and, at times, very aggressive towards each other. The only reason we can think of for this change is the tinned meat. We are currently dealing with yet another bite wound, where one of them...and we dont know which one...has taken a large chunk out of Millie's shoulder!!! We have seen the biggest change with Pip, who was a really loving and laid back boy before, but has become mega hyperactive and aggressive towards the others,usually for no reason. So, from today, no more tinned meat allowed in this house....it's back to Burns only!!! Fingers crossed that we see an improvement. l will keep you posted. l would be interested to know if any one else has had any problems that they can attribute to feeding tinned meat ??? X.

Brilliant Banger! Yes, good idea to get rid of the sandwich bag next time...is there a handy plant pot you could stuff it into? You need to talk to Foxy Boswell, he is an expert at this sort of thing! Good luck with the abseiling!! Xxx :))

Hey lady V. I just needed to tell you that the SAS book worked!!! I actually managed to nick moms cheese sandwich this morning without any one knowing until they found the sandwich bag (didn't go down to well so I need to learn how to hide the bag next time). Still, it's slow and stealthy that's the main thing. I may try abseiling next !!!! Cheerio for now xx
