feed and treats

[fbodgrl]

want to make sure I have this right...

Hay should be offered at all times(timothy and other grass hays should be the staple)

Pellets daily(I think I may use Oxbow)

Fresh water daily

After that I get a little confused. I believe twigs are considered a treat, right? So you shouldn't give twigs every day?

What about the wood coins and stuff I have seen. Are those considered treats or just chews?

Pumice and hanging toys are just considered toys and chew items, right?

Also is there some place to get branches that are chin safe wood. I was thinking of maybe utilizing one or two when I set my cage up.

They can have twigs all day every day. No problem there. Wood coins, twigs, branches, ledges - all good.

Pumice and hanging toys, all good.

Treats refers to rose hips, shredded wheats, etc.

Look under the "chin supplies for sale" section on here. I think Alli713 was just selling some cottonwood branches. Also try Pet Products By Nature. Their stuff is fabulous!

I always buy my hay from my local feed store. They have the freshest hay I have ever seen. I'm not sure which company it comes from, as they bag it and sell it themselves, but it arrives in huge boxes, like half a refrigerator box sized. I have had to have them bag me some when they run out. It is also alot cheaper than buying from a pet store.
