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. Quote Link to post

[/quote Check their water bottle, that they can get water out. If they can`t drink they won`t eat. basil. Quote Link to post
sue 1 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited April 12, 2008 by sue Quote Link to post

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 Rolfe. Quote Link to post
