when you can tip it up to bring the food closer to you?

This is Smudge’s new way of eating, which allows for more energy efficient turbo-munching :))

My boys do this with their bowls, and one of them even does it with the hay tray. I've lost count of the amount of times I've walked in to this sight:

Hehehe! yep - my boys do this when they have floor time and share the bowl of grass!

xxxxxx
 
Wheeky, that's hilarious!

Jane, we've had pigs do this a lot. Especially "stout pigs" who couldn't get their dewlaps over the lip of the bowl!
 
Hahahaha! My girlies do this too with all their food dishes. I'm sure if they could figure out how to topple the hay rack they would do it in a heartbeat. Instead they burrow and lounge in it. Silly piggies, all of 'them!
 
awww yes the messy piggies hehe! Mine like to tip everything over as well!
 
A few of mine do that. Some of them flip the bowl completely and toss it across the cage when it is empty. Maybe they are telling me that they want more food now please lol
 
Food bowl tipper! love it!
 
Hahahaha! :)) Wheeky those made me laugh, its the look on his face in the first one :))
 
Yep Fudge does this as well then Truffle hoovers up all the bits underneath LOL!
 
Very familiar with this piggy technique, my girls often tip their food bowls too! Except they don't scoff it down fast enough and haven't quite mastered it-meaning that loads of the food gets scattered on the floor. Luckily- Mum is always there to top up the food and clear up after them!
 
My two tip the bowl up and happily eat it off the floor & then when they can't find the rest of the food they look at me as to ask if i took it ")
