Blimey that's really good!

As much as they love it I don't give it to mine often anymore, makes their poos very dry and very thirsty.

Yeah I found that. I actually took Stewie to the vets for excessive urination when we first had him. Alison ('Big ears' on here) suggested stopping Readigrass, and it all stopped in a day. Very lucky, as the poor mite was about to undergo lots of tests etc

will have to keep an eye on them

I think that buns that have probs with it are in the small minority, I've only heard of 3 others. Logically, it's dried grass, so it takes water out of the system to re-hydtrae it, leaving the bun thirstier than normal.

What I used to use it for was getting Bertie to eat in stasis. I re-hydrated it in a bowl of water for 15 mins, then gave him it, as readigrass was somethimes the only thing he'd eat

thats a good idea

thank you

Mine eat this, they rarey eat hay so this is a great substitute and helps keep their teeth down. They have a big chicken drinker thing, so never without water so no probs

You can get it in this size from most horse feed suppliers, either readigrass or a different brand equivalent.
