I’ve started feeding B&C in separate bowls because Clyde has taken to butting Bonnie away from the trough of rations. By giving each one half a scope of goat rations they seem to eat slower and Bonnie gets more to eat. However, this is not a perfect solution to the problem. Whichever bowl is put down first, Clyde grabs. Bonnie, thinking that’s all they both are going to get, tries to push her way in. I then have to intercept Bonnie and show her the other bowl so she’ll go for that one. But Clyde eats faster than Bonnie. He’s a jerk and a glutton. This means he finishes his portion and then goes over to horn in on Bonnie’s food. I try and slow him down a bit by scratching him while he eats, but it’s not always 100% effective. Still, I get to spend a bit more time with them, which they both seem to appreciate.
