When I'm feeding my gliders, Fraulein Dinx likes to 'help' me, bless her!  I usually have a handful of treats because I always give each suggie a treat before I put the bowls in.   She sits on my hand, sniffs round all of the treats and finds the largest!  She does this every time! 

So, offer your suggies a number of treats (all the same type) and see if they do the same.  I find it doesn't work as well with yoggie drops as they're around the same size, but with fruit treats it does work.

Let me know what happens if you try it  Grin

Shall give it a go! Think I'll go to the extreme, one bag of treats have little bits in that they get one each, the other has massive chunks (well, I think they're massive compared to suggie tummies) so I break them in half (am I being a tight arse?), so I'll offer a big and little one n see if they go for the biggie

ive noticed this too , ive also noticed that my eldest girl will wait & see what size treat im offering before making a move ,
if its small she lets the other 2 have it , but if its a larger chunk she scoots across & swipes it before the others get a look in  Grin

Very clever! I'm suprised they didn't pick up the smaller pieces and throw them back at me in disgust lol x

Wink I just tried it with my two.  Yup, you're right, they certainly will go for the largest.   Tooooooo funny.
