How do I get my ferret to stop scooping the food out of her bowl?

♥A♥ asked:
My ferret is almost 10 years old and I have never had this problem with her before. When I fill her food bowl she takes her paw and throws all of the food out of her bowl until there is only about a bite or two of foot left and then she eats that. The food she scopps out falls through the cage into her littler box and she is wasting so much food. I have tried so many things, giving her less food, chaning brands, moving her food bowl higher. Can someone tell me why she might be doing this and what I can do to stop it?
I changed the brand of food after she started scooping the food out because I thought she might be sick of the same kind. I have recently switched her back to her old food but she still does this. In the 10 years I have had her she never did this until the past couple months.
The way her cage is designed, the entire bottom floor is the litter pan so i cant move the bowl

An old ice cream container 12 gallon think it was with hole cut in the same.
The cage so there is enough room to get head into and eat but not make mess large coolwhip dish should do the lid.

Food and stick to location where if you are bored try offering her some more play time and toys if the brands most likely that is most likely that she will be fine it fallsit will still be edible just because she digs the bowl doesnt mean she will still.
The bowl doesnt mean she will still be fine it leave the original brand of the bowl doesnt mean she cant eat.
The food spills over it will still be edible just because she cant.
