Re: How often do you feed veggies?

Twice a day. Half the time they get mostly fresh grass and forages. The other half is lettuces, cilantro, etc. It really depends on what the garden is doing. They seem to like grass the most. Right now I have a lot of dandelion, and they absolutely love it as well. I wish I could feed them dandelion every day! I grew some other stuff, like mustard, chard,and radish. Unfortunately, they are not a big hit. Maybe it will grow on them.

I have a big shallow ceramic bowl. I make them a big salad, and the four of them surround the bowl and munch. One of them usually jumps in the bowl. It is really cute.

I also throw in a treat most days, like a carrot piece, raisin, orange slice, etc. They get all the timothy hay/pellets they want. I may need to cut back the pellets, but I have not seen any weight problems yet.
