Jills not eating

[Guest little_lloyd]

Both my two Jills have barely touched there food bowl for the last four days?? Im feeding them on dry biscuit stuff at the moment,, They where mated about four weeks ago. Does anyone know or think what could be up with them?

 

Both acting normal,, just not eating.

Try fresh rabbit or something Lloydy.........that may help...........sometimes they require a change of diet during pregnancy. But leave dried food in as well. As long as they have fresh water they should come to no harm.

Check their water bottle, that they can get water out. If they can`t drink they won`t eat. basil.

basil could be right they are not getting there water ,it seems strange that both have gone off their food together. give them a dish of water and also i would give them a rabbit or pigeon to see what happens

You have just answered your own question Lloydy.........you never mentioned you had just changed their diet you muppet

Next time leave fresh meat as well as dried food and do the change over gradually.......you will not have a problem.

Over a period of a week or so.....decrease the fresh meat and increase the dried food.

 

Do you not get in chat anymore Lloydy..........I miss you
