Robin has an intense fear of thunder, and it’s the thunder that comes before the rain. It doesn’t have to be very loud too, he’s afraid no matter how far away the sound is, even if it’s soft. However, he is not afraid of the heavy rain or the thunder during the rain. Strange, isn’t it?
If there’s thunder before it rains during meal times, it would be a great challenge getting him to eat.
That’s what happened this evening.
Here’s Minnie, Lynx, Rey and Smurfy having dinner before the rain. Where is Robin? He’s hiding in the cage. I put his platter of food in front of him. Let’s hope he will eat it in the safety of the cage.
Ahh…good, he polished it clean. Good boy, Robin. It’s usually a hit-or-miss. Sometimes, he would be so scared he won’t even dare to eat a single bite. Today, he finished up everything. Lucky me!
Amongst the Monsters, you won’t believe who the biggest eater is. You might think it’s Rey or Lynx, being the biggest in size, but no…
…the biggest eater is actually Minnie, the mother. Yes, Minnie is the biggest eater. She not only eats up her share, but polished up everybody’s platters too. And yes, she’s not obese or big. It must be her metabolism.
It’s snack time now. Robin has come out of the cage and is on the chair.
Nowadays, they have a kibble snack after their main meals. It was during Ginger’s final month where I had to try all kinds of food to make Ginger eat – that is how everyone got introduced to kibble. And that stuck! But I keep it as just a snack and not a main meal. Their main meal is still Cubgrub and raw chicken. Minnie likes canned food too, also because of Ginger.
I’m not as gung-ho as I used to be in insisting they eat a certain type of food. “As long as they eat” is good enough nowadays!
