you chose to feed him fresh vegetables and only use the dry food on occasion/mixed with fresh food.

Igs need lots and lots of fresh greens--collard, mustard, turnip and dandelion greens, several times a day.

Once or twice a day, feed him a small portion of shredded butternut or spagetti squash, parsnips, fresh green beans, figs, etc. (All shredded. His tummy can hold more that way.)

I think you will find him becoming more interested in his food as you add the types of foods igs' bodies require to stimulate growth.

Good luck! Keep us posted on Scott's progress.
