I wasn't sure where to post this, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they do.
I've been slowly introducing meats, then organs, then bones into Othello's diet. He's been doing really well and I'm able to feed him larger and larger chunks, then letting him tear them apart.
But I do have one problem, I've noticed. I'll still have to cut up his food into smaller chunks and he'll eat everything faithfully at his bowl except for the last piece. That one he'll pick up and run off with it. When I haven't caught him right away, he'll drop it (usually on the living room rug :\) then play with it.
When we do catch him and say no, he runs farther, like he's about to go hide under the bed, then drops the food and sort of does his, 'no oh, I'm in trouble' face.
We've been picking up the food and throwing it away when he does this. Has anyone else had this problem? How did they stop this behaviour? Will feeding him just one chunk at a time remedy this?
