there is a problem, Bill is crying because I am feeding Ted where Bill can't steal his food
Can you divide Bill’s meal in two (if they eat at different times) and give him the second half while Ted eats? Or feed them at the same time?
A slow feeder or treat tower might also make Bill work for his food and stay occupied with his own meal longer instead of gulping it and going after Ted’s.
Or maybe if they aren’t already on low calorie or grain free food that’s an option.
Mashed pumpkin or hot water mixed into wet food is also a way to make them feel fuller.
More exercise for them might also help instead of reducing food intake so heavily.
It’s really hard. Breaks your heart to do it
he eats Ted's first then starts on his own
they are up and down stairs all day and pooped by the end of the day
