Readi grass? U/D no 7: oat hay?

I brought some readi grass yesterday to try it and it seemed to go down fast! Now it says on the back the same nutrition as grass.. so does this mean i give them less pellets?

o no :( why is everything high in calcium :( i will reduce there pellets slightly and maybe a handful a day mixed in there hay? or is that too much?

Isn't it a pain - everything they like is high in calcium. :roll: I give Spenser a fairly generous handful daily, but I certainly wouldn't use it as his main hay or a pellet substitute.
 
mine get a big handful between them a day - they absolutely love it - you should see Sparkle ramming it in her mouth as fast as she can with bits hanging out all over the place :roll:
The short chop means they eat it very quickly - not much chewing value to it.
 
Mine get two handfuls between four and 1 handful between two a day and have done for the past year or so with no probs

oo :roll: im trying to make casper chew more as he has just had dental.. maybe i should not give him too much, if i sprinkle it over his hay in might make it more appetising :) does anyone know much about oat hay? as they like that too?
 
I thought Spenser liked oat hay, but he hasn't eat that much of the stuff I put out yestedray. I think he got a bit annoyed by the length of the strands, so I cut them into shorter pieces, which seemed to help. I can see me ordering sample bags of various hays for quite some time before he settles, but I don't mind as it helps the BARC bunnies at the moment.
