I give them pellets in the morning and again around dinner time(less than 1/2 handful each time), unlimited hay and they get veggies only about every 3 days cause I can't afford anymore. They're both always "begging" for more food...it's hard, but I don't give in! I usually have to walk away from them cause they can break my heart!
Today, I put them in their playpen with a few toys, but absolutely nothing to hide under...so what do they do?! Go sit in a corner glaring at me, all bug-eyed and looking scared to death! I can't stand them looking like that, so I ended up crawling in the playpen with them, talking to them, reassuring them and pretty soon, they were hopping all over the place! Guess that's what I have to do to get them moving! That's OK! I love them soooo much!
