My 2 flemish giants are loosing weight.
Background info:
FG1, doe, Butterscotch- 6 months old, weight- 11 pounds, previous weight at 5 months old was 13 pounds.
FG2, buck, E.B.- 5 months on the 25th, weight- 8 pounds, previous weight at 3.5 months old was 10 pounds.
They have both lost 2 pounds each! They are free fed 16% protien pellets (normally they eat around 2 cups). Recently i have started to let them free range in the yard, so they are not only eating their pellets but they are also grazing on plants, mostly plantain and grass. They are healthy looking, active, and poop is normal. Could the weightloss be from them being more active? Before they were just sitting around in their cages now they are digging, hopping around the yard and occasionally chasing the chickens. :bunnyhop:
