So we measured out a table spoon of pellets for each boy and were surprised with how well the little dish we have for them worked in deepness! They sure do love their pellets!
My boys and their pellets.

Awwww cuties sharing a dish

Thank you both! They so far have generally gotten along with dish sharing, I think it was because they were together at the shop and are used to it?
Also the boy on the left is Sha and he is very happy to hear you like his ears!
If they will share then that’s fine. It’s generally recommended to have multiple food bowls, bottles, beds etc when you are dealing with boys as it can stop territorial arguments, but if yours will share then there is no problem!
My boys were already bonded when I got them and shared a bowl at that point, but they will not share now (even though they get on perfectly well generally), I scatter feed their pellets in hay/on the floor and don’t use bowls at all now as 1) it keeps them busy looking for their food, mimicking their natural behaviour, and also 2) Dexter either finishes his bowl and then goes and starts on popcorn’s, or flips between either bowl and generally causes trouble - scattering means they both get fair chance to search and stops Dexter’s greediness! It’s just something to bear in mind
