Hi All
Our horsefield, Henry, has been having very wet poos for the past few days so I wanted to make sure we are doing everything we can diet wise before we go down the route of a vets visit. He recently came out of semi-brummation, by which I mean he desperately wanted to hibernate but we hadn't prepared him for it so we were waking him up every day and giving him soaks and food. He is suddenly full of life again and has a big appetite but has started having wet poos despite his diet not changing. We try give him dandelion leaves and flowers as much as we can but also have to buy store bought greens in winter when its harder to come buy wild flowers/weeds in the garden. We always stick to the darker greens, kale is his favourite and stay away from things like iceburg lettuce. I read on here that grassland pellets might help but I am struggling to get them in the UK. Is there anything else similar we can try? We are also going to order some seed mixes that have been recommended on here so we can grow more variety. It's the first full year we have had him so still learning but he seems really happy and is full of energy at the moment, as you can see from the pic he's very mischeivous 😃
