OK...Please help me understand.
I have my two does in a pen with shed. Definitely enough space, but the kids and I take them out to go on a walk in our backyard which is only about an acre. They LOVE this. The immediately eat the old crunchy maple leaves and green grass. Is this backyard grass OK?
We used to use TRU GREEN. But this year we won't use them in the backyard because of pesticides. My real question is, "Do I take them out little by little and get them acclimated to that type of normal backyard grass. Is that grass OK for them or "too sweet".
I don't have normal pasture with weeds and stuff like that. Any thoughts about this being good or not so good and what we could do for them so they have something more than hay an sweet grain?
Do any of you do this "silage" thing? How does that work out?
Thanks in Advance
