    Re: Feeding Issues

    Well, something else is going on with Big Bertha. She acts like it really bothers her, or that it hurts to try to work a large food item down her throat. If it's small enough to just gulp it down quickly, (just a mouthful and no more) she's OK.

    Poor Bertha. Maybe a little jaw massage will help? Mama likes those after eating "large" food items.

    I doubt that. Big Bertha just wants (and needs) to be left alone most of the time. The less stress, the better.

    Cotton and Toothless get a little grouchy after food time too. You would think they would be happy with their full tummies, but noooooo.

    That makes sense. I wasn't sure if she was like Mama, who seems to enjoy the attention, neck and back rubs. I thought someone adopted her? Or do you plan on keeping her so shipping doesn't stress her out?

    Snap gets really pissy after eating, if you even touch her on accident, you better pray to god that you can get your hand out of the way fast enough.

    Well, she hasn't tagged me yet, at least not during the feeding pissiness. There was one time that she actually let me stroke her back, though. It was a really special moment for me.
