Is there ANY way to break this habit or a dish that would keep digging to a minim?
I adopted a 5 year old female from someone, and she has the worst habits!
Don't get me wrong, shes a sweet heart and I love her, but this food digging is starting to drive me bonkers!
I think her old owners must have feed her something with tasty add ins, and since I only feed Oxbow, there is nothing extra in the food. I've had her for 5ish months now, so you would think she would learn there is nothing extra for her.
She's got tons of chew toys that get rotated to keep her active, fresh hay, fresh food, fresh water.
I'm not sure how to get this habit to stop. It wouldn't be so bad if she didn't decide to pee on the shelf either, even if I switch different shelf levels she seems to pee right by the food.
I clean the cages daily so the peeing isn't a big deal, but when she pees in the food shes spilled all over it waist food. I've tried deeper dishes with little bit of food, lot of food. Shallow dishes, everything I can think of..
Am I just stuck with food digger?
