is a good idea not to offer food so often, if theres a refusal just wait 5-7 days before offering again

Thanks. I emailed the shop after the last refusal and they said she/he never missed a feed also that he/she was 10 weeks old when I got he/she. So I guess I'm not handling or feeding until after shed. Thanks again guys
