Do you know what he's been eating before he's moved in?
He's lovely. Contis are gorgeous.

He could be a little upset because he's just moved in I guess. I'd try to up his hay consumption and monitor for a day or so. He may be producing too many or may just not be eating them.

Before he moved to us he was on heygates, I've been mixing it with the science selective I bought him.
He is isn't he, I'm so in love with him already

I'm mixing what he was previously on with what I've bought him. He may be getting too many pellets as my family are struggling to understand he doesn't need a bowl full of them all the time, I think I'm finally getting through to them with that. It may be that he's had new veg as I'm not sure what veg he used to eat. Thankyou for your help

No problem :thumb: maybe just feed him the heygates only for a few weeks or so, till he settles in more,then start mixing to wean him onto the other food. As you say if he is being fed a lot of pellets by the family that's probably the cause. One time I went away my pet sitter overfed my four by a huge amount, they'd eaten about a month or so supply in a week :shock::lol:

I agree. I'd revert to his usual diet and then gradually change. I'd give him a chance to get used to you and the move first.
