I have a silver marten buck who, while he was in a pretty severe molt during the end of August/better part of September, decide he didn't care much for his daily pellets anymore. He's still with me, keeping up with the weird behavior :shock:
That's not to say he didn't/does still eat any pellets, but definitely a large reduction from his daily cup serving. I've checked his teeth and that issue has been ruled out. Like I said, he'll still eat SOME pellets but not a lot. He's not severely under weight either (still within the SOP standard's for weight), but definitely not holding his condition like he used to and I can feel his pin bones
Any ideas or what else i can do or check for?
I've been adding small amounts of sweet potato, oats, and BOSS to supplement during this time.
