jman2007 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 Hi Hope everyone is having a good Sunday. Just a quick question, is it ok to add grit to the layers pellets when I put it in the Grub or is it best to have it on its own? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I don't know if it matters, but I think it might sink to the bottom of the grub and they might not get it. I used to chuck handfuls into the run so they could get it as they scratched around. Now I put it in two piles in their walk in run Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 You can certainly add it to the pellets but I find it easier to put it in a wee pot like this. That way you can see exactly when it needs filling up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrishY Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 i put the grit in a heavy rabbit/dog bowl for mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah B Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I tried a bowl but they pooed in it I use a hang up bowl now and put a little in the pellets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way you can see exactly when it needs filling up. I bought these too as they are brilliant for treats such as pasta and potato peelings and they keep stuff in instead of being trampled in the run - I also have one for grit too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 I use a little pot attached to the wire of the run ( I think its really for parrot cages but it works just as well). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie26pet Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 i have a little pot at side of food but it keeps getting wet does it matter, but i also add to there pellets which they like is egg shells that have been cooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAJ Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) Pots like the ones shown were about 50p in the domestic fowl trust - various sizes & colours. We have put a hole in the bottom of ours, so when the water gets in it is self-draining. Tracy Edited March 16, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
