Re: Help....my GSP doesn't want to eat...
as far as getting a gsp to eat mine has never refused an earthworm from the backyard (his absolute favorite!), but i only give them to him because i never use any fertilizers or pesticides! you could try that just to get some nutrition into him.

Help....my GSP doesn't want to eat...
