That was my intention, but I couldn't change it. When I made it blue in order to delete it, they placed it. Must you look for it on Photobucket?

Tosha is certainly learning fast. Lexie learnt how to do a similar feeder puzzle but can't be bothered as there's food else where!!

Thank you, Pauline. You solve all my problems. Toni, Tosha searches for food everywhere, when she has finished Tommie's and Misty's food by pushing them away. They are starving when it lasts longer. She never stops eating. When I lock her out, the others never take the opportunity to eat, but keep looking at the door where Tosha is. And she has to loose weight, so the vet says. How?

Great pic Elly. Tosha sounds like she certainly enjoys her food making it all the more difficult for you to try to get her to lose weight. Feeding them separately is a good idea though.

Elly, this is a difficult one. We succeeded in controlling Penny's food by feeding her on the floor & the others on the worktop as she can't jump that far. But that won't work for you as I suspect Tosha can get anywhere.
With Lexie (sensitive stomach) we feed her in a separate room with the door shut so the others can eat their food in peace and out anything left in a cupboard when they've finished & if they return they get fed under supervision (of Lexie). But if Tommie & Misty aren't eating if Tosha is shut out then that is a problem. Hopefully they will learn that it is safe to do so.
I suspect the problem is her background. The use of a puzzle feeder should help with reducing the intake as it will keep her interest over a period of time but I suspect she'd rather go to the other 2's bowls first.
Good luck

Toni, you summarize the whole situation. As Tosha is only 2,5 years old, the vet doesn't think of diabetes, but of her background. Perhaps it takes longer than 4 weeks to make her understand that she can eat regularly. Misty's diet food is the favourite of all three. The most expensive as well.

Glad the vet is discounting diabetes. I reckon it could take a while (if ever) to get her to break the habit of her previous life but it's going to be difficult in the meantime. Of course the special, expensive food is the most popular!! What else would anyone choice I like the phrase summarise (not many would use that in conjunction with my posts! Hope someone else can suggest an answer.
