How much dry food?

Honeybun

I have Colin and Mia on Science Selective, but I'm not sure if I'm giving them the right amount...

They always look hungry, but I don't know if that's for my benefit, as neither of them are thin (Colin was very slim when he arrived, but is a nice size now).

They have plenty of hay (which only Colin eats *sigh*) and light veg as Mia suffers from an upset tummy if I give her more than a little bit.

Any ideas ?(amounts in something practical like a cup rather than weight would be good, I don't have any kitchen scales atm!)
 
Mine get about half a cup between two of them in the morning. If they are eating hay they won't go hungry :D
 
I think its more difficult if you have a non hay eater. Have you tried things to get her to eat hay? I never succeeded with my non hay eaters! :lol:

Well, if they are not losing or putting on weight then perhaps the amount you are giving is right?

I've reduced Audrey's pellets down to one- two tablespoons now as she needs to lose weight.
