My Charlee is a 1.5 year old and about the start of May stopped eating all of her greens she used to eat and even some new ones. I give her greens in the morning and she eats her live food at night. Any reason for this that anybody knows of?

Try taking protein out of her diet excet 2-3 days a week. That should get her eating her greens again. It's about that time to start feeding her less protein anyway.

So protein 2-3x a day is better now since she is reaching adulthood?

Not 2-3 times a day! That would be way too much! We're talking 2-3 times a week, period.

Whoops! I meant a week not a day. Haha. She'd be obese if I feed her like that. But she wouldn't mind

;) I knew what you meant, just giving you a hard time. Let us know how it goes after a few weeks!
