Well you'll want to try to keep in mind what breed of rock he/she is. Is it a Igneous rock? (Igneous rocks like to eat alot you should maybe take him to a geologist if he isn't eating and he is an igneous breed.) He could also be a Sedimentary rock (they like to eat a little less, I would just consider attempting to change his food if he isn't eating and he is a sedimentary rock. He just might not like his food). Last but not least he could be the breed of Metamorphic (Metamorphic rocks don't eat verry much and don't have too long of a life span. It is completely normal if your rock is Metamorphic and he/she isn't eating.)
There are many more breeds of rocks out there (granite... etc. etc.) but they all stem out from these three major breeds of rock.

If you have been feeding your pet rock kibbles lately and have noticed them missing. You may want to consider a few of the following options before contacting your geologist:
First I would close the window where you sit the pet rock. A bird may be flying by and stealing your kibbles. A raccoon may also be stealing your kibbles. It could even be a squirl or a small domenstic pet.
If after closing the window or if your windows was always closed and you still got kibbles missing go on.
I would dip the kibbles in tobasco sauce before feeding them to your pet rock. If you have a potential sleep walking problem, you should discover this immediately. Good luck with you missing kibbles and ask again 'cause I know a lot more animals who could be culprit. Even if it's your husband sleep walking, someone will cry out and get real angry in the middle of the night.

I hate it when that happens. You should try soaking the kibble in warm milk. Most pet rocks like to eat kibbles early in the morning. You could try getting a wild sandstone from out side and putting in the box with the pet rock and the food. Normally the pet rock will eat the kibble real fast too keep the new rock from getting it. Becarful because the two may fight or the wild rock might be carrying a bug or something.

Try changing its food first (try a different brand). And, maybe it's just the heat of summer (causes it to not want to eat).
(Does it know there are starving rocks in China that would love to have kibble to eat?)

Pet rocks are more comfortable in pairs, he is probably lonely. Try adopting another pet rock from the local shelter to keep him company :)

I think you may need a "rock whisperer" or rock psychologist of some sort. I commend you, rocks are difficult pets and require a lot of care.
Cute question :)

You just need to feed it "Pop Rocks" instead. And for an occasional treat, try some of those little chocolate rocks...they look REAL!

Tell it the punishment for not eating is hard time in the rock tumbler with little chance of parole.

I have a pet rock that stopped eating in '93... i sat him in a corner and told him not to come out until he was ready to eat... he might be stubborn, but i will outlast him...
