I would recommend switching Romeo back to the original food he was on before since he was eating it well. He may just not like the new food. If there is a reason you need to switch his food I usually recommend doing it over the course of a week or two. If you change food to abruptly it can cause anorexia and/or diarrhea. Start by adding about 25% of new food to 75% of the old food for 2-3 days. Then go up to 50:50, then 75:25, and then finally 100% of the new food. Hope this helps. Good luck.
