I’m looking for some advice.  iv noticed lately my hobs fur has become dry and rough and his tail is loosing hair? Just wondering what I can do to sort him out.

I will definitely be adding salmon bits to the diet. They eat well. there on all the game the dogs catch and what  I or friends shoot plus organs heart/liver/etc beef mince Turkey mince iv never really thought of fish .  the hob is eating like normal and still bouncing around like the usual knob head he is. It’s just his fur feels abit dry and looseing fur on his tail . Iv caught him rolling in his piss getting all excited with the jills  in the next hutch  so I imagine that will make his fur feel rough and dry too

I have similar problems in the past and I was advised by one block mix in their food once a week kitten food , kitten food has high protein for them and the fish. The only time I have the problem now is when they get old or it’s a Jill who is about to have her young. Another one I also do and try to do it once a week or so is mix up egg with their food good protein and for their coat.
