Be creative, let them try it…They will let you know if they like it.

Clover has eaten things like- orange, banana, steamed broccoli (nothing on it), apple.  Every once in a while she pesters me for something I am eating.  They know what they need!

Grass Grasing-helps with an upset tummy, but also supplies them with different vitamins and minerals.  Certain grasses have different qualities and they know which ones they like.  Just keep an eye on them, don’t let them eat too much or be obsessive about it. But grasing is good and normal!
