What sort of foods would you give then? he does get dandilions
Well introducing slowly as with any new food type, and depending on what you have access to? Do you have a garden? allotment? river or wild bit of park nearby? Anything bought must be washed to remove any chlorine before packaging.
I feed these:
apple and pear leaves and branches - mine gobble up the twigs like pieces of hay!
All herbs except chives - either bought or from the garden. Mint, lemon balm, rosemary, sage, thyme, marjoram, lavender (sometimes), basil, parsley, coriander.
Cabbage leaves, brocoli leaves (homegrown - they will grow in pots!) or spring greens and brocoli and calabrese bought from supermarket - spring greens in moderation with my buns otherwise upset.
Swiss chard - home grown - again often triggers upset if too much with mine.
Spinach, rocket, watercress, pea
tops, celery
tops, radish
tops, beet
tops (moderate - high in oxalates) and best of all and never causes upset - carrot
tops! Mine also like the odd mangetout or sugarsnap pea and can eat a handful of these with no upset but not daily - it's all about variation and not too much of anything in one go.
Also, Mallow flowers, marigold flowers, strawberry leaves, fennel and rose petals.
I also occasionally feed pepper and fresh fruit as a treat - Vit C ration and dried fruit as a tiny treat as well - no more than once a day 1 tiny piece max with dried fruit - very high in sugar, somedays I don't feed fruit at all. Carrot roots are also a treat.
If out walking by a river we pick fresh plantain - broadleaved and ribwort, sow thistle, milk thistle, dandelions, goosegrass (cleavers), and when I visit my parents or take the buns on holiday there they have huge sow thistles, mallow plants, nipplewort, groundsel and hazel and willow leaves and branches.
If their tums are a bit iffy one day they have a day of hay and dried stuff only or I stick to the following - apple leaves, herbs - the drier and woodier ones, celery tops and carrot tops - never get upset from these.
I vary the veg daily and use a selection of 3-4 different ones. As on no pelleted feed at all I include atleast one vit A veg daily and a good source of calcium atleast 3 x a week. I too feed West Wales Willows hay like Clare which is organically grown with a huge variety of grasses - there's quite a varied nutrient concentration in this alone. I supplement with Oxbow and Burns hays, meadow hays and a good handful of dried mixed herbs twice a day - I buy all the dried herb packs from Naturals and Burns and mix them all up in a big bag and sprinke a generous handful on top of the hay in their litter tray twice a day. I also dry my own nettles, plantain, jersualem artichoke leaves and other herbs etc.
