Offering the food as wet mash helps with that a lot. I'm ambivalent about fermented feed - if it happens, it happens - but I'm big on wet mash for a host of reasons, from brooder to culling.Did you do the sugar water in the beginning?
I only had some issues when I started the feed restriction. They would eat so fast that by the time they would try to drink there was no room for it. A couple drowned themselves before I figured it out.
For that I would put the food in just for a minute then take it out for 5 or so. Gives them time to get some water in them.
Others mentioned giving moistened food.
