Feeding
« on: February 12, 2013, 03:55:39 pm »
My sheep are pets that are not in lamb and consequently are rather plump! I only give them titbits in the morning and at night when I go to check them. The titbits I've got for them vary - it could be bits of chopped carrots, cabbage, parsnips, beetroot or a few sheep pellets. They've been getting some hay as well. I just wondered which of the titbits were the best to give them ( in other words the ones least likely to make them gain more weight) I do still want to give them something to keep them tame ( for catching etc )
Thanks

If they like chopped carrots I'd stick with them!!!
