    Eating backwards

    I know that sometimes this happens. The last feeding then today my BP has eaten backwards. Granted she is in shed so maybe that has something to do with it? I'm not worried or anything, just curious. What are your thoughts?

    Yeah I think so, but I'm putting a lot on the fact that last time she was a day before blue, and now she should shed either tonight or tomorrow probably. But she is kind of derpy sometimes lol. 😜

    Re: Eating backwards

    I have a couple of female corns who eat their dinner based on whatever end is closest to their mouths! My normal BP doesn't seem to mind most days. Today she started from the back end and couldn't line it up right so she found the head and gobbled it down that way. I think it just depends on them. I've heard people saying it's bad for their healths, but I've never had a problem yet.

    Yeah I'm not too worried about it hurting her, if it could I think that instinct would kick in and they would eat it right.

    I think the instinct only goes as far as just getting it down the hatch lol
