EvilPixie Oct 2023 9:04am, 26 Oct 2023 48,113 posts	0 EvilPixie I have found it OK to leave packet mix in it for 24 hrs Ozzy is fussy some days he will eat it some days he won't! Such a diva!!

EvilPixie Oct 2023 9:11am, 26 Oct 2023 48,115 posts	0 EvilPixie that's why we had to get Ozzy the feeder he drazes and is also a slow eater whereas Dio inhales his food in seconds Dio has occasionally got into Ozzy's feeder - he sits by the side and paws out food whilst he is eating! Or dashes in and pulls the bowl out (no mean feat as it's in a recess) or Ozzy, knowing that Dio gets told off for stopping Ozzy feeding!, sits close enough to open it and lets Dio barge in then looks for us to tell him off!!
