So my little fluffball Haymitch has been increasingly aggressive with the girls at morning feed time over the last few days (sigh)
He previously belonged to a 3 year old child who teased him and he's also partially sighted. He would lunge and bite when we first had him but has calmed down completely apart from the odd grunt.
This morning he boxed me to get at the food and then really chased the girls away, grunting.
All four have been recently vet checked, so they have no issues in that area. We're already feeding additional hay (4/5 types) so he shouldn't be hungry.
We will be spreading the morning veg and forage out into different locations rather than feeding one pile and can always feed him separately if needed.
He's 16 months old now and although he cuddles up to the girls (they're 26 months old) and they groom him and they're often together he does spend more time playing in the run than they do in this weather.
Argh, that is all.
The little monster himself
