    Some balls eat weird ways if u see him haveing issues then yea stop if its doing its thing.and not really struggleing I don't.see why not just let him/her do her thing. I seen a pastel do it once and told the owner that the snakes in distress.. he laughed and said he does it everytime so it all Hood.. I just watched and yea he was perfectly fine.

    I don't blame you the first time I saw it was the pastel and by God I.made sure the owner heard me when I yelled about the snake eating backwards. It was funny afterwards.

    Bonnie will drag hers around by the tail and start eating it from every direction until she finds the yummiest direction. She is by far my strangest eater lol.
