Young Bun
Hi! :wave:
I have been mildly concerned lately that my buns (5 months old now) aren’t eating enough hay – they have access 24/7 but just don’t get through a lot. Certainly not through their body size worth of hay. They get pellets morning and evening, a handful per bun each time and they gobble it up like I starve them. We all know how important hay is to a bun in all sort of ways – I was wondering if grass straight from the garden has the same benefits, because this I do know they eat all evening long for about 4 hours non stop when I get home from work and let them free range in the garden!
So, I guess my question is – do I let them get on with nomming on their pellets and grass and not worry too much about hay (so long and they keep eating the grass, and hay will still be accessable the whole time), or should I still be finding ways to encourage them to eat more hay?
Thanks for any advice
