Update on Skye & a diet question.

Skye has spent her first night here, and shes a little Cracker! I thought shed be nervous and spend most of the first day hiding away in the box in her litter tray.

OBVIOUSLY I WAS WRONG!! Shes soooo condifent!! Dawn has done such a great job at raising her, shes deffo going to keep me on my toes!

She literally doesnt sit still for more than half an hour at a time :shock: Shes eating and drinking and pooing, she will quite hapily sit and eat when im watching her too :) She doesnt seem to be eating a lot of hay though, i catch her having the odd nibble, but her poos are quite small and dark.

I know its early days, and shes doing well so far, but is there anything i can do to encourage her to eat more hay other than cutting down pellets? She gets 2 table spoons a day + a teaspoon of junior SS.

Ill see if i can add some pictures to her thread in photos, but my laptop is realllly slow and the page doesnt load. :wave:
 
Anyone?

Im going to the farm shop later anyway, might try a cheap bag of hay, the hay shes used to is a lot finer than my baled stuff, im hoping that might make a difference!

Weve had sunggles and bunny kisses this morning :love:
 
we have problems with flopsey shes only 6/7mnths and shes thriving on timothy hay within a week she was fantastic just an idea
 
Try different types of hay to tempt her with it and putting hay in different places like a big heap in a litter tray, some in a brown bag, some in her food bowl etc.

I have a 9 week old flemish giant girl and what I do is unlimited pellets during the day so from about 10am-12pm. Her vegetables are given to her at 11pm too.
