I have noticed my girls not eating a lot of hay, they've only come home for a little more then a month, so i'm still trying to figure out their pattern.
So their hay is changed 3 times a day, before work, after work and before bed.
The hay I put in before I go to work, which is at about 8-9 in the morning, I get back home from work at about 8-9 at night. The hay is either only eaten a little bit if not untouched, I know they sleep thru the afternoon, but my boys do come snack a few times when I give them fresh hay.
However, they are devouring allll the pellets, I put in 4 tablespoons of pellets, and by next feeding time, not even one is left.
What can I do to encourage them to eat more hay? Can I reduce the pellets to 3 tbls?
I feed APD first cut, and it smells nice and fresh so I know the hay isn't the problem.
