YT 5000 Club Member | Does your baby ever do this? I free feed Gidget and Chloe, but the past couple of days Chloe is eating ALOT! I mean she is eating more than Gidget ever does! As soon as I put food down she eats it up! She was sooo full and miserable yesterday that she just layed around and then this morning I found four surprises she left for me! So today I have been feeding her according to her food and just splitting it up instead of giving it to her all at one time! Just wondering if anyone else's babies do this!?

| I free feed Coco and I haven't had this problem with her (well yet anyways..lol). But I heard if you put a ball or a bone in her bowl, it will get her to slow down and chew and eat slower. Maybe she's just gorging (sp?) on the food and eating it tooooo fast which is making her sick. I bet if she slowed down, she would realize she's full faster.

YT 5000 Club Member | Ok thanks for the info! It was just sooo sad yesterday! I had to pick Gidget's food up and let her eat on the couch b/c Chloe was trying to eat her food too! LOL

| LOOOL little porker..haha..how cute. Yea apparently the bone/ball will keep them distracted and cause them to eat slower and chew properly. I hope that helps. It just sucks when they don't feel very good from over eating. I've given Coco too many treats before and she's been lethargic

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | Sailor use to do that when she was really little, we had to separate the girls and their food while they ate for a couple of months....finally Sailor started to realize that the food was not going anywhere. Now we free feed and they both do great...

YT 5000 Club Member | Thanks again! I hope she quits doing it soon too!!! I am still trying to free feed her but she is like a turkey and gobbling it up! LOL Hopefully tomorrow will be a great day!

YT Addict | My Sugar tries to eat all the food so noone else can get it then she gets a mouthfull and hides it in the strangest places like in our clothes, under our covers, shoes, you name it. We never know where we'll find her stash. |
