I am trying to encourage my little Russian to eat more Timothy hay. Has anyone tried this? Is this safe for Russians? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DJBJLEI/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20
Thank you.
Thank you.
Tom said:Take your blended hay particles and let them soak in water for a few minutes. Then chop up all the greens super fine, and mix it all together. Start with a very small amount of the hay at first and gradually up the ratio over a few weeks. Russians don't normally eat much grass, but I understand why you are doing this to improve the grocery store greens, but it might take them longer than a "grass eater" to get into this and desensitize to the taste and texture. I applaud your efforts!
BTW, I much prefer orchard grass hay or bermuda hay for this purpose as its much less stemmy than the timothy.
ZooMed grasslang food will work well for you in this purpose too.
And finally, I would not use that salad dressing stuff on any of my tortoises food if it was given to me for free.
