i have 2 girls called daisy and maisy. now they are eating allen and page food but daisy is pileing on the pounds :oops: :oops: and maisy is nice and slim :D :D how can i get daisy to lose some weight without making maisy lose weight got to be careful as maisy has bad teeth and some times can lose weight if she don't have a constane (sp) supplie of pellets

thanks 4 any advice given
 
Seperate them for 10 minutes at feeding time, it won't take Maisey long to polish off a pile of pellets. Would be good for her teeth and Daisys weight if you can get them both to eat more hay.

thanks 4 the reply tamsin they both eat loads of hay. as with seperating them that won't work cause maisy eats her food all day. i was wondering that if i was to mix the a+p with some excel lite if that would help
 
It's good they eat lots of hay :) I think A & P is about the same (probably better) nutrition wise than Excel Lite. The Lite version of excel is about what a healthy rabbit should have and what the standard A&P/Supreme Science are anyway. It's just the name makes it sound better.

You could try a treatball, that means more exercise to get the food. And/Or you could reduce the pellets for both of them and then feed Maisey a little porridge seperately (good for putting on weight) if that reduces her weight.

If you don't already, weighing them weekly on your kitchen scales is a good way to monitor them.
