Looking at yours maybe I'm not feeding enough. They have one big cabage leaf each and some herbs. I only give them carrot as a treat as they get soft poo. They have fruit now and again. I don't give them broccoli as I thought it caused gas in some buns. A trip to Tesco for more vegies today is needed I think.

i think brocoli can cause gas in some buns but mine are fine with it. i was told that as long as they didnt have squishy poop that the veg amount was ok and by buns have had over a pound of veg with no side effects before althouhg they dont usually get over a pound ) i think it might be becasue they eat loads and loads of hay so keeps their poopies nice and firm

:shock: From the pictures above, I suspect I might not be feeding enough veg either!

I feed a couple of large leaves of spring greens or similar, an inch of carrot and some carrot tops, an inch or so of celery, two or three broccoli florets and half a tomato. It looks like a fair amount, but no where near as much as the pics above! :lol:

Jacob is a good hay eater though and she rarely finishes her pellets (even on the new reduced amount) so I guess she's not hungry :?

i feed lola my frenchie less than some of the veggies on here! but that's because the little tinker wont touch her hay otherwise

lola gets 1 leaf spring greens twice per day plus daily - 1 inch carrot, a stick of celery and a small piece of pear - she also gets fresh parsley or mint (full pot) twice per week and maybe some kale or brocolli once per week (and nasturtiums etc in summer)

i feed the other 3 older buns - 1/2 leaf spring greens twice per day plus daily carrot, celery and small piece of pear (as lola) - they get bits of parsley mint brocolli etc once or twice per week

i find that none of mine will entertain even the good hay unless i give them frugal amounts of veg and tiny amounts of pellets!!

mine prefer hay to veg so when i put their veges in i put in a couple of handfulls of hay too and they pig out on the hay and then eat their veges over the next hour or so, unless i hand feed the veges then they practically bite my fingers off :lol: i must just have 2 very well behaved hay eaters

o lucky you!

send them round to mine to train my little monsters please! veg is always the first thing to go in our house then pellets then the hay (and you can see them sulking as they eat it)

i only give them a tablespoon each of pellets per day as they are so lazy and they have to chase them round in treat balls to get them!
