Footed Bowl
How can I get my ferret to stop taking food from your plate?

My ferret is almost 10 years old and have never had this problem with it before. When filling their food bowl takes his paw and pull all the food from your plate until you have only a bite or two left foot and then you eat it. Food scopps falling out through the cage in Littler box and you are wasting so much food. I tried many things, giving less food, Chaning trademarks, moving the top plate of food. Can anyone tell me what could be causing this and what can I do about it? I changed the brand of food after it began removing the food because I thought he might be sick of the same nature. Recently I changed back to his age, but the food still does. In the 10 years I had never did it until the last couple of months. The way the cage is designed, the entire ground floor is the sand bed so i cannot move the dish

In 10, changes in behavior should be seen by a veterinarian. She could be having a toothache, or pain in the belly. Part of aging is the difficulty in digesting food used to be fine. This includes the muscles of the jaw increasingly weak and unable to eat. (I will not mention the cancer, but is a possiblilty) Try smooth the meal with water or chicken broth. Just put a tablespoon in at a time. When you finish that, give him more. Please consult a veterinarian to be sure. Cheers.
