Am I naive?

U can also use the igloos they have for g.pigs, it just sits over the dishes.

or, alternatively, you could just not feed them until they learn some manners???  Ummmmmm...... ok, probably not the best idea i've ever had

Roxy you are just soooo wicked - 10 karma points for you

I've been trying that but they've protested by not moving out of bed for 2 days...

last time mine squabbled over the food I removed it for 10minutes
and then the both came to the door and crabbed at me for few minutes!!
they seem to be fairly tidy eaters! and there is a grate so any waste goes into the tray
only time they were messy was if it was in chunks cos they would then flick the ones they didnt like as much aside to get the better ones (and then come back to the other bits later!)

green beans were a reject! but then I cant say I blame them - I wouldnt like greenbeans with fig and apple or whatever the combinwation was!
only thing I have learnt is to put mat under their cage to catch some of the droppings for when they first come out the cage

I find they are messier if I feed chunks as they can grab a piece and run up the branch or something, if its blended they have to eat it in their kitchen.
I dont have to worry about their droppings as the dogs soon clear them up
