Suggestions On how I get two house buns used to grass

Shellypops · Mar 21, 2011

So my mum now has my collapsable run at hers, which is five mins down the road from where I live.

I would love for Bobs and Carlo to have some outdoor excercise, and I haven't got a garden

So I am going to take them to mums a couple of times a week, for a run round.

now they have had grass before, as I usually feed a bit in the summer with their greens. But I don't want them to get upset tums, so how long should I let them have a nom? at first?

Shameless bump there

20-30 minute bursts, is what i'll be doing :wave:

Need to limit the grass at this time of year, as Spring Grass is really rich.

yes I had five mins free and I wanted to know the answer to my ponderings, I may start adding some with greens before we go ahead

I know that Bobby will be fine, just worried a bit about Carlo, he can get a mucky bum quite easily

Okay well I think I will start adding a bit of grass in with their hay, and go from there, thanks guys

Yeah I just start by picking it and bringing it in for them, and then after a while they have short bursts on the grass and build it up from there.

The really odd thing is that I wash the grass when I pick it for them - which is silly as I dont wash the lawn before they go on it! :lol::lol::lol::roll:

I just let mine out for 45mins every now and again and so far so good. They don't really eat much of the grass though, Maisie espeically will go hunt for some dandelions or something to munch instead.
