Well, I must confess. I break all the rules with my little dwarf, Joey. When he was very sick and we went to see Dr. Emerson she said that I should feed Joey whatever he would eat. He was very underweight at the time and as most dwarfs are, he’s a notoriously picky eater. So, I have tried all the good stuff. He won’t touch it.
He only eats sugar snap peas and mushrooms ....occasionally, and chicken regularly. But sometimes he eats a small amount of puffed Cheetos, cheese, cereal, sour cream potato chips and butter. These are the things that he can and will eat by himself. His nutrition comes from the ground Harlan block and an assortment of baby food veggies that I mix with formula and syringe feed him about 5 times a day. He’s over two years old and still doing well, so I don’t deviate from what’s worked.
