As it looks like Barney has snuffles, I'm going to need to cut down his costs so I can save some money for vets, especially if he's going to get a friend who might also have/catch pasturella.
It looks like its going to have to be his food costs, now I cant source baled hay and pellets are cheap so I would like to cut down on the costs of his fresh veg, which is normally £5-7 a week.
At the moment he gets 1 eggcup of pellets, 1 stick celery, 2 spring greens leaves, and then a handful of either herbs or rocket or something. He is just under 4kg.
Can I reduce the amount of veg he has, and how much? Will he get all the vitamins he needs? If I reduce it do I have to ensure he has a different type everyday? Should I up his pellets if I reduce his veg?
I was hoping to just get down to just 2 spring greens leaves a day, or 1 stick celery.
eta- he is slightly overweight at the moment, but not by much.
