How can i get Lola to eat hay???
We have tried
normal hay
readi grass (which she loved for about 4 months but now refuses)
oat hay grass (hates it)
excel with herbs(hates it)
mixing pellets with her hay (she moves the hay out of the way and eats the pellets)
mixing herbs and other yummy things with the hay (again she moves the hay and eats the bits she likes).
She only has half egg cup of pellets a day and a little veg/fruit.
The main problem is really her weight as we have always battled to keep her weight up, so normally have to give her lots of high calorie fruit and veg (was having 1 carrot a day, greens, broccoli and 1 pear or 1 apple a day this maintained her healty weight), at the moment we are only giving her tasters of this to try and encourage hay eating BUT her weight is slowly dropping!!
She has great teeth which is great but am concerend that they may not remain so good!!
She would prefer to starve than eat hay!!!!
