Chips my female will eat as much as you let her eat, she LOVES milk replacer, cubes, and honestly any vegetables I put in front of her. Guac my male, is more interested in solid food than milk replacer at this point. I was wondering how many cubes I should be feeding him if he isn't taking in much food in the formula department.
Thank you so much for your reply! I'll make sure they wean themselves. Just trying to make sure they are happy and healthy.
When you say "cubes," are you feeding HHB's (Henry's) or another type?
