I took in a new foster today and I had not seen him before. He is seriously obese. So obese in fact, he may actually be the obesity epidemic. I've had chubby ones before, but whoa, with this guy. The person who gave him up was obviously well meaning and loved him, but the food she gave me was almost like trail mix it was so junky. Black oil sunflower seeds, corn, fruit, etc just awful. Also she was giving him those candy coated pretzel things on a regular daily basis.
Buns in the Fuzz house do not eat like that, period. Limited (strictly!) pellets, hays, and large green salads every day. He seems very sweet and outgoing, which is good, because me and this guy will be exercising our buns (hah) off. I am slightly concerned on how to start as I would prefer to stop the junk outright but don't want to upset his stomach. Any diet plan gurus out there?
