  Hello,
  
  Short Story: Can I feed Gus veggies and pellets at the same time, once a day, as long as he gets unlimited hay and water?
  
  Long Story: Gustavo has been on the same diet for at least a year or two now where I feed him pellets around 9AM and veggies around 5-8PM, with unlimited hay/water. I’m finding, due to my disabilities, it has been hard to manage feeding him veggies in the PM – mainly due to loss of energy at that point. Is it generally okay to either feed him both at the same time, or space them out by just a few hours instead of numerous hours?
  
  Thanks! 🙂

  I don’t think it would matter too much. I may not give the pellets and veggies together just because it’s nice to space things out. But I don’t think it’s necessary to have such a large gap either. You can always try a different schedule and see how it goes.

  We have done both with our buns (spaced out and together) and I find the buns don’t care as they like getting food whenever they can lol. But in my human brain, its nice to spread things out a little, but it doesn’t have to be a whole day apart. 🙂

  You can. If he has hay and water the rest of the time, he’s all set. I have to do that now bc my little boy Lage was deemed fat by the vet at his recent vaccination appt. So now it’s hay only with a once daily snack of fresh grass. (I do sneak his bonded partner some pellets, because she isn’t fat.)
  
  It’s great for the whole of Gus if he eats a lot of hay. With a once-daily serving of pellets and greens, he might feel inclined to up his hay intake. Hay really is key to bun health.
