i gave them lambs lettuce, red leaf lettuce, slender plantain, dandelion and soaked grass pellets today all mixed up. Swarley ate quite a lot, but sheldon turned his nose up, though quite often he will eat in the morning.
got some new weeds to add tomorrow, is this better? Louise

I give the florette crispy salad that has frisee, lambs lettuce and endive in.
Great to give Plantain, lots of fibre in that. Rowan a member on here had a post about plantain and clover dried mix you can get in pets at home, you can soak that and chop it up for them. Wilkinsons also do a dandelion dried mix.
