We brought home a 5 month old netherland dwarf buck on saturday, but he hasn't eaten any pellets since we got him. I do not know if we are using the same brand of pellets, but it is 16% protein, which is what the breeder used. He is drinking, very friendly and active, but does not seem to have any interest in his food. He eats hay but the breeder we got him from said to only feed him hay 3 times a week. I would love to give him a few apple slivers or chopped up carrot pieces and mix it in his pellets to see if that will coax him to eat, but when I got my HL buck he was about 5 months old and the breeder said we couldn't give him fruits or veggies until about 6 months. Any suggestions? I figured he wouldn't eat for a day or 2 just because of the change, but I didn't think it would go on this long.
