Answer :

answer:Does it move or make a noise when he touches it? Is it too deep or too large or too small for his size? Is it plastic or does it have a strong odor? How long has this been going on? If it’s just a few hours, he just may not be that hungry yet but it taking it form you to please you. If there’s noting about this particular bowl that’s a problem, hold food or a treat in your hand near the bowl and gradually move closer until he’s taking it form you directly over/in the bowl. If you can get him to the point of taking it from you while your hand essentially lays in the bottom of the bowl and he’s showing no hesitation or fear, you should be able to transition to dropping the food into the bowl while your hand hovers nearby. Gradually move your hand away until he’s eating on his own.
