Ok, just some more advice needed if you wouldnt mind folks. As I previously have said, Dylan is a very sneezy bunster at the best of times. Vet is convinced its allergies & Im inclined to agree. First question is, Does anyone know why she sneezes (Sort of coughs?) more when shes eating? And secondly, when she first turned up here, she wouldnt eat at all. Wouldnt touch pellets from day to day, but after months of Rhia-watching, shes now a complete gannet. So much so that shes actually worrying me with it! They both kind of snaffle the pellets up into their mouths as many as possible before actually trying to eat them - which Rhia seems to cope with, but Dylan is sneezing & almost coughing, cramming them all in her mouth! Shes either too thick or her nose is too blocked (Bit of both I think!) to use a treat ball or anything similar, and even hand feeding isnt working - so is there any way you can think of to kinda calm down her eating? Shes a right weirdo little bun scratch

If it is an allergy, she might have inflammation in her nasal passages. My son gets hay fever and in early summer, his nose gets inflammed and I can hear when he speaks that he is stuffed up. Maybe she is the same and can't eat and breathe at the same time, but is desperate to get to the food at the same rate as Rhia. Maybe giving them separate food bowls so she doesn't feel the need to compete might be better for her.
