Daisy pushed it around the living room more than I expected at first. She seemed unsure, then started using her nose properly. She gave up after a few minutes and lay down, but came back later on her own and finished the rest. Over a few days she stopped trying to flip it and focused more on sliding things instead.
Alfie stood over it for a good minute before doing anything. Lots of sniffing, a few nudges with his nose, then one paw landed in the right spot by accident. After that he got more deliberate. He worked at it in short bursts, wandered off, then came back when he realised there was still food left. Mealtime definitely stretched out compared to his usual rush.
Ruby was cautious. One paw, then another, then she stepped back. It took a couple of goes before she worked out what to do. Now she uses it calmly and doesn’t rush. Some days she ignores it completely, other days she clears it in one go. Feels very mood-dependent.
Toby got excited straight away and pawed at everything at once. That energy lasted maybe five minutes, then he sat back and watched it like he was thinking. He went slower after that. By the end he looked more tired than full, which is new for him at feeding time.
Milo lost interest quicker than I hoped on the first day. He nudged it, got a bit out, then walked off. The next evening he came back to it without any prompting and spent longer working through it. Not something that holds his attention forever, but it does slow him down when he does use it.
