You can see the Torti is taking this seriously and is moving right along while Skittles just doesn't seem to get what the goal is. Maybe he is giving her a head start . . .
Yep, Skittles is just hanging around at the starting point.
I think she was pushed along or picked up and moved along because she wan't getting the hang of this. This science project is going to take a long time. The only time she hopped the maze was when her treat container was being shaken ahead of her a few feet.
