  Hi guys, both buns have been on hay only for a month to reset things after a few excess cecals. I plan to reintroduce pellets soon. Do I need to introduce them slowly as though it’s a totally new food or can I immediately give them the amounts they had before (1/2 teaspoon of probiotic pellets 2 FibaFirst sticks each)?

  I think it’d be pretty safe either way, but it doesn’t hurt to start with a small quantity and ramp up to the usual.

  Can you get much smaller than half a teaspoon?
  
  Maybe start with one/half a fibafirst stick though.

  That’s what I thought but they are so damn sensitive!
