We've always used a slow feeder for little miss greedy guts as from day one she's eaten like it was her first meal in months. It's worked great and in my wisdom I thought we could start using an ordinary bowl, Lynn wasn't so sure. For a couple of days she wasn't too bad, however, this morning Lynn fed her and she almost inhaled her food and immediately turned and brought it straight back up!
Just as well we didn't throw the slow feeder out.

Good idea Crystal. The other thing I've seen is putting a tennis ball in the bowl. I think she may be too smart for that and take it out though!

Suki is a fast eater as well. She's even one prize money more than once Big Grin We keep her bowl on a stand so her head is a little higher when she eats and she never throws food back up

Zeus is a fast eater too, thinking about getting a raised feeder to help with this. He has neck problems so part of me thinks hes rushing to eat because his bowl is so low down to the floor... chances are I'm probably wrong and he's just a greedy bugger!
