When I let the boys out this morning, I noticed that Billy wasnt as squeaky clean in the bottom department as he usually is. He also wasnt as boisterous as usual, so I took it that his tummy was a bit off. Also, Toby seemed to be a bit more barrel like than usual, although his number two's were quite normal.
With all this in mind, thinking back to what Wytsend told me many months ago, I decided not to give them any of their "biscuits" this evening, only hay. I had told them earlier in the afternoon that they would be foregoing their evening meal and why however, they had obviously forgotten by the time I put them to bed.
The look of sheer disdain on their little faces was amazing. They kept walking round their house in circles, touching their food bowl as if to remind me that I'd forgotten something. By the time I locked their door and said good night, the bowl had been kicked over to the other side if their house in disgust.
I will be giving them a few biscuits tomorrow morning, with their wormer included, then I will restrict them to hay again until Billy is back to his normal self.
Ooh the worry of these animals!!
