    Get her a ridged puzzle bowl. Instead of a flat surface its like an egg carton and fill each egg section like less than level, had the same problem with an anxious one

      Thank you for the suggestion! We tried one of those as well as some mouse-looking containers that she’d have to bat around to get some food out of, and those helped a bit, but became a monster when she didn’t feel like “hunting” xD

        I understand but if she’s eating too quickly she most likely needs that to force her to slow down. I wouldnt get so gimmicky with anything hunting or wild stuff, she can most likely adjust to a simple puzzle bowl (maybe grumpy for a few days). Sometimes you have to impose a change for the good of their health ;)

        It keeps em slimmer too nominally since its more effort to eat and slower so they realize when they’ve eaten enough rather than scarfing.
