(not dog food) IF really good food does not work in enticing him out, I would suggest as gently and non-confrontationally as possible, but without fear, guilt, hesitation, etc... remove him from the crate. Put it in human terms; you have a four year old who does not want to go to bed. You don't grab him with anger or frustration, but neither do you plead, beg, entice, etc... you simply and gently let him know he is going to bed. No emotional rollercosters.

Lynne Barrows Webboard User Reg: 09-22-2007 Posts: 2531 Loc: S. Florida Offline	Lightly browned ground beef would be great. I'm not talking about for feeding, just for coaxing him into moving, so small little meatball-type pieces (like marble sized) I would not be overly concerned about him eating a meal at this point.

Should I try with raw or lightly browned ground beef? Lightly cooked. 1. It smells enticing 2. It will be safe to mix a little with kibble later (and you don't want to combine kibble with raw)

Ditto! He'll get hungry. Right now his stress overrides his natural appetite, that's all.
