Playing with her food

Our new addition, Athena, has a bit of a weird habit. When feeding time hits, she seems to like to play with her food quite a bit before she actually eats it. Drop a worm in front of her and she'll "pretend" to lunge at it, and pokes it with her nose...nipping lightly. She'll do this at least a half dozen times before she finally grabs it and eats it. Weirdly enough, she does this EVERY time. While her cagemate gobbles up say 8 for example sake... she only has eatten 3 because she'll be playing with it. After the 3rd it's like she looses interest and walks away. They do eat seperatly in different containers, so I'm not too worried about her not getting food while the other hogs it all.

Could she have sight issues? Or just has one of those weird habits?
