So I fed my ball yesterday and after struggling for a while to find the right spot to start eating, he ate it ass-first. Is this anything to be concerned about? Last time I fed him he tried to do the same thing but eventually found the head and ate it normally. All the other times I've fed him he ate it head first.

i dont think its bad but is unusual, as long as hes eating i wouldnt worry, if he does it again you should take pictures.

i wish mine would do that, one time i fed my bigger ball(2 and a half feet) a f/t pinkie to show a friend how fast they strike and he ate it sideways!
