i found a suggestion on yahoo that said to put his food in a muffin tin! i may actually try that one. his meal is pretty small anyway b.c he is, so that may be perfect to put a tiny bit in every other muffin slot or something. I'll update after i try it..lol i dont expect much, and it is weird, but maybe it'll get him in the habit of eating slower. I am doing VERY well with the method im doing now thou..but when hes on Strictly kibble again (if possible) it would take forever to do it the way i am now, which is holding the dish for him and only letting him take one or two pieces at a time, then kinda pulling it away until he chews (praising him of course) and then letting him have another bite.
I think im stressin less about all of this now (hopefully i feel that way next time he pukes)..watchin him be happy and play with spice makes it worth it. They even sleep in the same bed at night voluntarily, even though they have separate beds in the cage
too cute
