eating poop

I think you can give them something in their food. I don't remember what it is, but it makes their poop taste really bad so they won't eat it.

I'd like to know the answer to this question too... Isabelle does it.

Me as well, Tucker does it. I think there's a product called ForBid, or something similar to that, my spelling may not be correct. I need to order some and try it.

I have heard that you can sprinkle a little meat tenderizer powder on their food, and it will turn their poop bitter, so that it doesn't appeal to them. I have also heard that it is because they aren't getting the nutrients they need out of the food, and so the body craves poop (ewww!) to try and get the nutrients the second time around. And a way to solve that would be to change foods, or try the equivalent of vitamin supplements or something like that.

We feed Iams only because the only store in town is Wal Mart. I think the other food is Purina, and that's probably about the same in quality.

Well, I've tried pineapple. Didn't work. So my best solution is to just pick it up after he's done before he eats it. I have to watch him while he goes so I can " ahah " to make him stop.
