Schmello there :)

Tried to post this in the fb group but fone doesn't like Facebook much.

I've heard of people trying marmite for non feeders, but has anyone tried bovril? My theory is that it's meatier so may be more attractive.

Asking cos Skye is a bit of a problem, only taken one meal with me and that was scented with chicken, we have chicken livers in the freezer so could try that too.

Okay. Getting desperate now, yes it's only been two Weeks but she's losing weight and I think getting thinner.

She's refused boiled and chick thigh scented, thinking of trying the yoghurt trick next week but I'm worried I'm not eperienced enough. Dead honest opinions needed.
