When we came back from our holiday a week ago we found that despite specific instructions Molly had been fed too many pellets and not enough hay meaning her poops were small and hard. Since then I have been struggling to get her poops back to their usual golden selves.
I have reduced the pellets to 1 small handful in the morning. She has been having fresh forage or herbs for her tea. Normally she eats her meadow hay with gusto but not keen on it lately so she has been having western Timothy hay which she just loves and has eaten loads of.
The thing is despite all this I am yet to find any golden poops. They are a much better size, soft and crumbly but still dark. Is it just a time thing and I haven't given it long enough or is there more I could do?
My 8 year old son Jacob has made himself chief Molly poop checker after he saw me doing it and wanted to learn! :lol:
