julia55 Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Can someone just clarify for me that as ex batts need to be kept on layers mash for a while after rehoming, does the mash have to have water added to it (as I've done previously with 'normal' girls) or does it get fed to them dry? Seems a silly question but obviously vital. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 No, it is normally fed to them dry as that is what they have been used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Initially we had the ex batts food in galley pots as they couldn't manage the the grub due to the size of their combs and after a week or so, instead of 4 pots of mash we would do 3 mash and 1 pellets, then 2 & 2, 3 & 1 etc, we also put the grub in for them to get used to it. So in a couple of weeks they were on pellets. Once they started to use the grub, we reduced the amount of galley pots, so eventually they were just using the grub.
