I recently lost one of my girls to what turned out to be an impaction of grass in her system. My girls love to graze, but my girl Sparkle must've been eating everything green she could find. I took her to the vet after she suddenly passed away a couple of weeks ago, I had to find out what...
I've been told that they should be solely on the feed until 12 weeks old, but I can't see how veggies would harm them. I tried Mealworms last week to see how they would react to them, and those little buggers got right to it. They are so instinctive!!! I just want to know if they can eat bits...
The girls are loving their new home outdoors! So far, no signs of predators trying to get in... Phew!!!
