Winter Feeding

I personally do tend to up the pellet intake on the colder days and nights so they have the energy to maintain enough temperature. I also tend to give warm water in the morning and evening on those days too. Oodles of hay like normal, but that's about it food wise, really.

I usually feed excel light pellets.... but i'm now doing half light and half normal, so that they're having a little extra.... and i'm allowing them half a weetabix once a week now rather than once a month.
Other than that, I'm not doing anything different.

Weetabix? I never knew they could have that! That's another to add to my list

Mine have more pellets for breakfast, then more veg for tea. I also give them the occasional shreedie. Plenty hay.
They have a water bowl and a bottle and in winter I put an old sock over the bottle to help stop it freezing. The bowl is their preference so that gets changed a few times a day in winter.
They are also more bored in winter cos sometimes they dont want to play out so they have extra toys, chew mats etc.

Thought I'd add - I give mine their pellets through the day, so they have a few in the morning, a couple in the middle of the day with some carrot tops or herbs and then the majority of their pellets in the evening they seem to prefer it like that because they're greedy :lol:
