The boys

The boys were cheery and calm this evening, stuffing themselves with food. We seem to have finally cracked the code and worked out what Theo will eat properly. I think he's had years of chronic gastric ulcers and that's why he often goes off his food.
He now gets, twice a day, mixed chaff, Gum Nuts, Copra (coconut oil stuff) and slippery elm powder, all mixed into a damp mess and liberally sprinkled with raisin bread. He also get a biscuit of lucern. Duke gets the same as we figure it should be a good preventative feed so that he doesn't develop ulcers.
They are gutsing themselves and Theo is finally approaching ideal weight. Phew!!!
