That does seem like quite a lot , id give half a baby carrot

I’d say a whole baby carrot each is too much. Carrot should regarded as a treat and only fed a small amount occasionally. My two don’t get carrot very often, but if I do give them some, then they will get about a 0.5-1cm thick slice each

ok. thanks. i know only to give once a week but wasnt sure how much. also what is the best lettuce. i got a bag of spring mix bc the store was out of green leaf but i think it has spinich in it.

With regards to the lettuce I feed mine little gem. I don’t think it matters too much as long as it’s not iceberg as it doesn’t have any nutritional value.

Spinach and Kale should be fed as an occasional thing as it’s high in calcium

 

[Piggies&buns]

Any lettuce, but not iceberg, is fine. If it has spinach in it, then I would pick the spinach leaves out so to ensure they don’t get them often. High calcium veg such as kale, spinach and parsley should only be fed a small amount once per week.
