Question
my min red piebald eats his own poop what can i do to prevent it ?

Answer
It is really hard to ge them to stop.  Check out the internet, there are several things people suggest, but I have not found any of them very successful.  Make sure he gets enough to eat and gets vitamins and minerals.  Also have him checked at the vet.  You need to tell him no when he approaches poop and make sure he has things to occupy him in case he is bored.  Clean up asap.  Also, try a higher qulaity food.
