This is in response to Alison's post about her bowl tipper, George :-)) It's not just you, LOL. I had one that insisted doing this as well, my Mickey. I don't know what his infatuation is about preferring to eat his food .. outside the dish, but he does, LOL. I solved the problem by getting the types of dishes that lock to the side of the cage so he can't tip them over. They are large enough to eat from, so that isn't a problem But now, he digs in the dish until he spills some and THEN he will eat it. I guess he just prefers it "A LA Cart" LOL. My other three would just make a game of it sometimes, but not as bad as Mickey. I feel that it's just ferret curiosity and they have to see what is behind the dish. Dianna And the Gang Mookie, Joey, Mickey and Mouse + BeBe, Trooper, Nikkei, LeLou and Muffin Like the feel of fur ... Hug a Ferret or two !! [Posted in FML issue 3788]
