Sometimes fuzzies will acclimate faster to a new taste if you crush the new stuff up and mix it with water to make a warm mush. It's even more effective if you hold the fuzzy on your lap and feed him from a spoon or dropper (if he'll let you). Be patient, though, it took me several weeks of this to get my babies onto Totally Ferret. Good luck!! Elena & the fab four - Pattertwig, Pixie, Macker, and Casper [Posted in FML issue 3501]
