Hello you lovely chickeny people!!!!!!

 

Ive been looking at different ways and things to give then treats in, I came across these http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9374972&fh_view_size=10&fh_eds=%3f&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB%2fcategories%3c%7b9372012%7d%2fcategories%3c%7b9372024%7d%2fcategories%3c%7b9372082%7d%2fspecificationsProductType%3dbird_feeders&fh_refview=lister&ts=1286657430848&isSearch=false when I was in BnQ, grabbing some bits for the garden.......... i have only given the sunflower seeds partly as i couldn't remember weather they could have the nuts?

anyway -the couldn't grasp what to to so i made it so the seeds fell out and then showed them the hole to get them out. they got it quiet quickly woohooo lol..... its quiet amazing when you teach them to do something and they get it lol

Best not to give them nuts or wild bird food as the fat content is very high.

 

The sunflower seeds are ok as a treat

How about Guinea pig food, my cheeky girls keep emptying out the guineas dish. Im sure Hannah thinks she is a piggie.

There is another current thread running on treats **here** that you might like to read.

 

I wouldn't give them guinea pig food. They need pellets and very limited extras.
