Does anyone here use a "feeding" container?
My boy is a chow hound and VERY outgoing. I have only had him a week and half, and he already comes out when he hears the mealie container. Will eat from tongs NO problem.
My girl is a bit more shy, and she will usually only eat one or two mealies from the tongs. I haven't seen her eat much, but in the morning the mealies are all gone, and she isn't losing weight.
Ok now to the meat and potatoes of this question:
I am thinking about feeding her in a separate container. I have a smaller sized "critter keeper" that is just the right size. I went ahead and blacked out the sides and top with black construction paper so it is nice and dark and secure feeling. I am thinking about putting her in there with 10 mealies and leaving her for an hour or so so she can eat on her own un disturbed.
Or am I just being a worry wart?
Half of me says, she is eating and growing , no worries, the other half says : give her the best of the best.
What do you all think?
Thanks ahead of time for the input!
