I think I will try to start doing that. Hopefully he'll get used to shooting first then eating.
I want to do the happy dance, but I don't, because I'm still in shock lol!
I already fed; usually he's more cooperative after eating. Morning routine: feed, test, then shoot. We'll see at 0800 what the food did...
