Is This OK? Re Feeding

Jack's-Jane

Wise Old Thumper
Uncle Albert is not able to eat dried pellets/hay at the moment due to his very sore mouth. He LOVES Critical Care mixed to a gooey pulp with Veggie Puree. Trouble is he needs permanent access to this BUT he shares a pen with Cerys. Cerys is not that keen on the 'Goo' but eats some. As she is a good hay eater and is at a healthy weight do you think it'll be OK to not give her any dried pellets until Bertie can eat them again. I am worried that she may eat the pellets then some of the Critical Care and wont bother with the hay. I dont want her to get a bad Tum with everything else that has been going on!!
Even if she wont eat the 'goo' Bertie has she will eat hay so that'll be OK for a few days wont it? I just feel a bit guilty making her go without :? :?

Could you take her out for a while and give her the pellets and then put her back with Bertie?I dont suppose it would do any harm though for a few days just on hay - she will appreciate the pellets more when she gets them! :wink:
 
Thanks guys. Cerys is being such a help to dear old Bertie.
I dont want her to get a poorly tum from not eating enough hay.

I would feed her seperately, unless he really takes ages to eat his goo?
He has to have 'goo' available 24/7 at the mo' Elve :roll: :roll:
Thankfully so far Cerys has not been too keen on it. She has a lick of it, looks at me as if to say 'You are joking aren't you :? :roll: then goes off to munch some 'proper food' AKA Hay!! Meanwhile Bertie has scoffed 4 bowls full of goo today. But thats all the poor boy can eat :cry:
