Maybe try the Paswell cos the vetafarm has bits in it. Paswell will go down alot smoother. Some IRNS are just harder to feed. Try a bit more regularly until they get used to it.
The other alternative is to learn how to use the crop syringe. This can be dangerous if not done properly get a vet/breeder to teach you> I'd say this would be a last resort.
