Feeding Time At The Zoo

Thought I'd take a photo of the 'chop' this morning before I dished it all out.
It is a bit like feeding time at the zoo except instead of big cat growls, elephant trumpets and monkey calls, we get geese honking, goats bleeting, chickens clucking and guinea pigs WHEEKA WHEEKA WHEEKING! ... until the last feed bucket goes in... and all you can hear is... peace and quiet! ahhh.
ok, and maybe a little chomping, pecking and chewing :o)


First, the relevant mix/ concentrate is measured out then fresh veg added

The rabbit's rations can get a little complex! The amount and items allowed depend upon their age, size and quarantine and/or health status. Each new foodstuff is added in tiny quantity and increased daily. Veg is given in massive variety but little quantity. The rabbits are fed twice daily and the staple of their diet is adlib hay. The purple bowl here is Luna's pony nuts

A meal of goat mix and veg for one of the billy goats, to supplement their daily hay section.

Veg is locally produced seasonal and bought in bulk, weekly

100g of waterfowl pellet per goose & duck together with finely chopped greens and apple

a giant rabbit breakfast
