Default BCI Eating Habits

Right well i've owned my male BCI for nearly two years and he's always eaten wierdly, he has this obession with trying to eat his rat butt first (starting with tail)
How many peeps BCI's do this or is mine mentally challenged

Mine did it once when she was about 6 months old. I think she was just being greedy, since then, she always spends about 10 minutes checking and double checking that she is swallowing head first.

so the general view is BCI's are abit special when it comes to eating thier prey in funny positions my old female had to have her food on platic plate or she refused to eat tried everything imaginable (hunting games, on the log, in the log) but nothing then tryed on a platic plate and she fed everytime
