I completely understand the need to free feed and be thankful when they eat! I have one just like that. It is so maddening. I did find one wet food that he loves (I understand that you have to feed Gucci a special diet). It's Merrick's canned food, the variety "wing-a-ling" and "smothered comfort" (I think). Both have whole pressure cooked chicken thighs and chicken wings in the can along with brown chunks. Rowdy will mostly only eat the chicken (the bones are soft, they just melt when you cut them). But sometimes he will eat some brown chunks too. I feed Rex & Rowdy 1/2 can each in the morning and then leave dry food out during the day for them to snack on. Rowdy rarely eats anything other than the wet food. It is maddening too, because he doesn't even want any treats, so training him is very hard since he doesn't care if he gets a treat or not.
I hope someone has a good answer for you, if not, then just keeping a close eye on her should do the trick!
Good luck!

I free feed her to Gayle. She use to be picky and she had liver shunt disease and was operated a few years ago. She has the ameroid constrictor put in. So I have her on a special diet of l/d food so I am happy whenever she eats...
I will try to be more stern with her and lets see where I get. I am a pushover when it comes to spoiling and she certainly is SPOILED! lol
thanks!
