Readigrass

[lizzie_71]

Just bought a bag of readigrass for the first time, and it is a huge hit with the boys!

Is it OK to give them a handful every day or two whilst they aren't able to go out on the lawn in the winter, or is it something that I should feed more sparingly?

 

[Romily]

A small amount daily should be fine, it is quite rich and piggies will generally eat it all until it is gone!

 

[BellasMummy]

I have heard it is quite high in calcium so should be given spraringly. I got sent a sample so gave it to my girls and did notice increased calcium in their wee.

 

[flips]

I give my girls a handful sprinkled over their normal hay 2-3 times a week. I've also been told it's high in calcium so I don't give it more often.

I don't give it to my girls very often, and they know it. So they wait until my OH goes into see them and sit there wheeking until he gives them some rolleyes

You could email friendship estates and ask them for a sample and then ask them where your local supplier is.

I found out that mine isnt far from me and is in the same place where i go to the vets! I just didnt know.

Yes that is fine as the Calcium phosphorus rate in the readigrass is correct and this is fine amount for 5 piggys.

Jimmy and George go mad for it, they have a handful a couple of times a week inside a tissue box that they love to toss about until all the readigrass has fallen out

I bed mine on Readigrass as recommended by the rescue that I got them from and Vedra of Cambridgeshire Cavy Trust - I have never been told that it should be used sparingly :{

I feed a handful every other day to three piggies, I must admit I have noticed their wee is whiter..

The love it, and it smells wonderful but I do limit it hope I'm not over feeding it

 

[Craig David]

i give mine everyday didnt think it was a problem... the rodentologist i use, feeds it instead of hay? x
