Belka, food hog

130417

Belka long ago learned that standing on the rim of the communal food bowl tilted it towards her, thereby enabling her to get first dibs on all the lettuce inside.

Being the clever pig that she is, she uses this trick shamelessly in order to hog all the greens while Peaches, Truffle, and Poof are forced to frantically pick around her. Which is the reason why Revy and Abby-Roo usually get this bowl instead!

Do your pigs have any tricks to monopolize the food bowl? Or do they take a more egalitarian approach to mealtime?

  1. Oh but she looks so innocent! I love that face :)
    Jaina was the worst bowl-tipping offender until I got a bowl even her chubs couldn't tip over. Poor Wendy being such a light weight never stood a chance against Jaina's extra..er...."fluff" :)

  2. Abercrombie was my wiliest pig. She would drag the bowl over to the hidey house, get inside the house, then tip the bowl up towards her, blocking off the entrance. The house had two entrances - she'd block the second entrance with her ample behind. That way should could eat the entire contents of the bowl, unmolested (well, except for some hair pulling in the back), while Pandora went nuts.

    It was very entertaining to watch.

    2. How very resourceful of Abercrombie to use her piggy butt as a second blockade!

  3. We can't have ANY bowls anymore because our Herman would do that to every dish he had.

    1. I once tried plates. That didn't work out after a certain pig decided to sit on the plate.

  4. Most amusing comments EVER.

    The horrors are all hand fed a piece of their daily fresh and then the rest put in their bowls. Boomy & Starbuck often have peegy tug of war over food.

  5. Peaches looks just like my teacher's piggy, but what is ironic is that her name is peaches to!

    Dusty brings his food bowl to the corner of the cage then tips it, its really funny but makes a big mess!(he also uses the inside of his food bowl as a pillow!)

    1. Perhaps that is Dusty's way of asking for a refill ;)
