Hello,

I've been trying to introduce scatter feeding to my male Syrian, Ruble, for the past week. He is around 12 weeks old. I've been placing half his food in his bowl and half around the cage.
However, every time I leave food around his cage he seems to pick it back up and put it in his food bowl! I've even seen him do this with some pretty large dog biscuits! It seems like he's trying to tell me he does not appreciate me hiding his food everywhere and making a mess. He's a pretty tidy little guy.
Is it time to give up or do you think it's still worth trying to introduce it?
Any advice is much appreciated x
