View Full Version : Is your pet a 'pig'?
No, I am not wondering if you have a pet pig. :p
But, when your pet eats, does he/she eat very fast, and try to steal other pets' food? Or does your pet save his/her food for later?
Prince eats a little bit and eats the rest later.
Digger barely wants to eat his own food, he just wants the other pups' food. He has to eat in a seperate room.
Otis just eats him food, making sure none of the other doggies take any of it.
Chubby eats his, not too fast. If someone else comes to eat his food though, he lets them eat it.
How about your pet?

Huey has a full bowl all day, then he will eat late in the evening or even later like midnight! It's like he forgets to eat because he is busy doing other things during the day.

No. :)
Neither of mine are 'pigs'. They eat their own food at a good pace, and don't try to steal each other's.

Wicket will save his for later unlike my puppy Waffles. She usually gulps it down depending on her mood. Sometimes, she eats a few bites here and there and will leave the rest for later. (If Wicket doesn't get to it first) But, Wicket WILL NOT share his food....he's a "pig" when it comes to food in general! :)

The ratties are huge piggies! They looooooooooooove to eat! They will grab just about everything they can get their little paws on.
Sammy is a pig too, with terrible tablemanners. When you leave the dinner table to get something he will hop onto your chair and start to eat what's on your plate. When you go to put something in your mouth he will paw at your hand and try to pull your hand down. :o Thank the Lord we rarely have company over!

Kai usually eats all his. He's not terribly fast but he is still alot faster than Kaedyn is. Kaedyn will only eat when Kai's around. I guess he doesn't like Kai eating it. Kai however will occasionally have some food left and allow Kaedyn to eat it. Kai eats in his crate; sometimes, Kaedyn will stop eating his, walk over to Kai's crate and steal it from him while Kai just sits in his crate and watches. :D
When it comes to treats, Kai is picky. Kaedyn will eat just about anything.

Cincy is a little piggy!!! Not only would she eat Sadie and Spot's food if we let her, but she snorts like one too!!!
Sometimes Ginger will gulp hers down, but most of the time she takes her time. And usually has enough for later on in the day.
Josie she is the biggest pig I've ever seen. She will try and save her food and get Gingers. They have to be feed seperatley now because Josie was trying to get Gingers food. Ginger was getting Josies food. Josie didn't like Ginger trying to eat her food so she would attack her. No more will they be allowed to eat in the same room.

I didn't vote, since I have the two of them.
Nala is the pig. She eats very fast and everything.
Simba is the danty prissy eater. He takes his time eating, lifting his head in between bites. He's also very picky with what he eats.
Ironic, since you'd think it's be the other way around looking at them.

Whenever we feed Duke he picks up his Bowl and carrys it out into the yard because he thinks the cat is going to eat it even when she is inside. He wont eat his food if you are watching him.
When we feed Kally she eats her food nice and slowly.

Dorian, my gecko goes into a frenzy whenever I drop crickets into her cage. I drop five in and theyre all gone within 15 minutes! I'm glad crickets arent expensive lol...
Cleo and Skyre (the ratties) will try to steal food from your plate if you arent careful. I had Cleo out on my bed and was eating a sandwich when she came out of nowhere and tried to carry my whole sandwich away with her!!
Oink Oink!!!
oh ya lol Blair will be in and out of the fridge with a whole meal in the blink of an eye. happy barks like crazy till ya feed her, misty just begs, I finally manged to stop her insistnt counter surfing. perky if you are eating she crawls up onto your shoulter and places her mouth right beside yours, hoping you will put the food in the wrong mouth lol shadow loves her food, but we were just lucky with everything about her, she never did beg, to start with. the piggies, if you dont feed them right on schedual you are going to get an earfull lol kari follows the food lol and when she is out of food se pushes her dish to the gate of the pen and start pawing at the gate :rolleyes:

Oh dear god. Yes! Yes! 1000 times yes.
My favorite phrase for caicos is:
"MMMmmm... FOOOD! STICK FACE IN BOWL AND EAT!!!"
LOL
And my geckos - well... they're all little hoggies. I feed them canned crickets ... and they all take them from me off the end of a pair of hemostats. My smaller albino female ate 5 LARGE crickets in one sitting! What a little hog!!! *(OINK)*
Prism also makes a pig of himself. If one of my pythons doesn't eat, he'll eat his mouse, and theirs too. Unreal.

More than one do i did not vote. ;)
Clover, is the worst of the lot she inhales her food and then attempts to steal Elvis'. Clover is also a serial counter surfer. Nawtee Dog. ;)
Elvis, takes his time and eats very slowly and chews in between mouthfulls. He is a good boy. :) He will even leave food left over in his bowl at night. He is not fussy though. :)
Theodore is also a little piggie, he inhales and trys to steal Pennys. Theodore also will not put on weight no matter how much he eats. (Has been checked by the Vet and he is healthy)
Penny is the fussy eater but find somthing that she likes and she is a piggie. :D
And Miss Yumi, will eat until she bursts. LOL

Bit difficult to vote -
Bagel is the perfect lady - very dainty and polite. Never rushes and wouldn't dream of taking the others food!
Dan just sticks his head in the dish and gets on with it. Only his dish though!
Ketchum - ah yes Ketchum - he runs between the three dishes tasting Bagels and Dans (Dan stand aside to allow him to do this!!) then going back to his own. When he's finished - or maybe half finished - he has to re-inspect the others dishes! Boy is he neurotic!! LOL!

Foxy loves his food, but he always eats his own. If we give him food while we're eating he simply wont eat it. And when i give him a bone he never eats it if there is people around.

If I left out a full bag of dog food for Autumn and a full bag of cat food for Sonny I'm not sure how much they would eat. I thought once of letting Autumn eat until she could eat no more so that maybe she won't want to be a glutton anymore, but I'm not sure she would survive because she may eat an entire 40lb bag and explode.

Not at all!
Tia could eat faster but she thinks that every time she picks up a kibble she has to walk to the living room to eat it lol. It usually takes her about 30mins to eat and even then she rarely finishes her meal.
Tango gets easily distracted by the littlest of things so if she see's a toy while she's eating she'll forget all about her meal and go play. She also won't eat if we leave the room, someone has to be within 1 foot of her bowl at all times if she's going to eat:rolleyes:

Tori is a pig! She will eat hers and then wait for Katie to finish so she can eat what is left in her bowl. Katie is not much of an eater and sometimes I think she only eats what she does so Tori doesn't get it.

LOL. My Jesse creates a river when she drinks! No, maybe it is an ocean! She also gulps all her food down when I fill her bowl! I now have decided to fill it 3 time a day. I started that after have her for a week! Now Sammy, she is the most polite in out family when she drinks or eats. Too bad Jes won't use her as a role model!
