wat do i do?

[pether]

i have eight girls who all have a bowl each but I'm wasting loads wat do i do?

 

[maisynpoppy]

maybe put smaller amounts of food in their bowls? if i had 8 i probably would have 5 or 6 bowls but thats just me

 

[pether]

so do i cut down and still change everyday?

 

[maisynpoppy]

are you talking about dry food or veg or both?

 

[pether]

dry they eat there veg straight away

 

[maisynpoppy]

my piggies dont eat much dry either put less amounts in their bowls but if they ever get empty fill them up straight away as they should have unlimited amount. O0

 

[Glynis]

I agree with the others, i'd try a couple of bowls less and see what happens.
Do they all tend to eat at the same time?

 

[Black Jack]

Oh dear! You shouldn't be throwing aqway uneaten dry food (unless they've peed in it of course). You can just leave the food in the dish until it's all gone.

 

[Clare]

mine always leave the black bits!

 

[MemberY]

Are they on coloured mix or pellets? I changed all mine slowly over to pellets and now there is no waste, I leave it in the bowl until nearly gone and re fill

 

[Black Jack]

Yeah I think pellets are the way to go so there is no selective feeding and you know the guineas are getting all the goodness too.

your prob using too many bowls too, i have 4 sows sharing at one bowl which i re-fill everyday, and even then they havent always eaten it all but they have plenty of hay etc to eat too.. maybe just cut down to 2 big bowls and if its empty at night re-fill the bowls.
