Bonding is going great. Excuse the terrible picture they were running around like madmen. We have moved to slightly familiar areas. This is on a guest bed (covered so all the hay doesn’t get on the actual bed lol) that they both like to run around and hop on and off of throughout the day. There’s been lots of grooming. The only issue I’m having at…[Read more]

I’m reviewing the ingredients in Garden Select and it looks like it might have more vitamins and minerals but it also has tomato pomace which looks like it’s about 25% sugar, so I’m considering that this ingredient could be contributing to his problems.

I don’t think it has molasses in it either (since you were concerned about that).

How big is he? The looks like a Nethie in the picture. He could have dwarf hotot in him or he could be a Charlie (two copies of the broken gene – the broken gene has been introduced into a lot of breeds including Nethies).

Oh thank you I’ll look into that one also!
