Bertie and Alex were stressed after being abandoned by their owners. Alex finally relaxed enough to be loving and was eventually adopted. Bertie is finally playing and I don't have to drag her out to get her to eat. She's not drinking much but she is getting wet food.

It took Bertie a month to chill out and relax so that she demands to eat.

I think it took Alex less time. He actually stopped eating and had to be force fed KMR.

Good luck and give him lots of love and scritches from me and the kwintet plus one.
