Wise Old Thumper
OKs, I'll try to keep this as brief as I can. Maya is a 7 year old Bun who has developed a problem with the 'mechanics' of her jaw. This means that she cannot eat hay, even though she had done so for almost 7 years right from being a baby. Her jaw is now so wonky that she has both Incisor and Molar malocclusion and she requires a full Dental under GA every 5-6 weeks. She has lost a lot of weight and needs to be on ad-lib pellets plus Veg that she can manage to chew.
Maya is bonded with Zac, 3ish year old Rex Buck-good hay eater but obviously prefers pellets if they are there. I cant seperate Maya and Zac just at pellet feed time cos pellet feed time is now all the time for Maya. Zac is FAT and I feel I need to consider spliting them up Just putting Zac out in a run during the day means he still pigs out on pellets all night.......
Apart from permanently seperating them ( which really is a last resort ) what else can I do as Zac's health will soon be an issue if I dont get his weight under control.
