Lucky was a large black bun that we got after his original owner died. We took him in after I promisedmy husbandthat it was only temporary and I would try to find him a permanent home. I did try, but no one wanted him and I did not want him to go to a shelter. So a temporary arrangement went on...

Yesterday I got Lucky the Sweet Meadow Hay again. Since I also cleaned his cage, it'll be a good way to see if that helps the shedding problem.

What woud be a better treat then? I am not sure how much protein is in the pellets. One thing I forgot to mention. Recently, he did have a diet change. I used to feed him Sweet Meadow Hay from Sweet Meadow Farm (Sherborn, MA). However, our local supplier went out of business and I had to go...

Pellets and Timothy Hay right now with assorted snacks--sesame crackers, bread and some fruit.

Thank you.

Here is another picture of Lucky....

Another shot of Lucky....

Lucky is a sweet little guy, about 2. 5 yearsold. Here he is with my 15 year old son. Lucky is mostlyblack with a good deal of tan flecking. His belly is gray. I'd say heis about 4- 5 pounds. He is about 2/3 the size of our cat. I amthinking he's a 'mutt' butt I'd like to have others' opinions...

Doesn't surprise me. My husband and I volunteer with 'throw away' kids. We throw away kids, so why not animals? /sarcasm off.
