Question
My cavey shadow! has been eatig his lettace and parsley everyday, but doesnt seem to eat as much dry food.I took him to the vet and he lost 1oz but vet said he is in good health,but i'm afraid that he might not eat enough food to gain weight,she said it might be to heat!! is there any thing that i can feed him to fatten him up?maybe something that i could mix with his dry food..please help with any info...thank you..shadow and family

Answer
pure rolled oats is good to help him gain weight....maybe check into www.caviesgalore.com/forums (you will need to register to become a member, but it is free) Then do a search on weight gain....or post..they are all friendly and willing to help...good luck..jess
