When I fed kibble (I free-fed), Wylie would go over and and paw at his bowl about 9pm *every* night and I'd say "what? what? It's fresh!" -- finally one night I picked up his bowl to see if there was a bug or ANYthing in there. I moved the kibble around w/ my hands, then put the bowl down. He started eating immediately. He was trying to tell me he wanted his kibble "fluffed".
Well, from then on - guess who wanted his kibble fluffed every night at 9pm?  |
That's so funny! "Fluffy" kibbles. On occasion Marilynn won't finish her food. We feed them inside their crates (because Melvin will steal hers) and remove the bowl after 20 minutes. If they eat all of it, which the do 90% of time, then great. If they don't the food is put up for the next day. One evening I went to retrieve her dish and let them out, and she had tipped her dish over and covered the kibble with her blanky. She gave me this look as if to say, "Oh, no thank you, I'll be eating my food in my cage
later this evening." Sure enough at bedtime the first thing she did when she went to bed was eat a mouthfull of kibble and look up as if to say, "I told you so!"
