I have been making Benson a pellet slurry with 1/4th cup of Oxbow BBT pellets, water, grape pedialyte, oats, and a hint of canned pumpkin. He loves it and prefers to eat this mixture more so than dry Oxbow pellets.
For those that do not know, I have been trying to switch him over to Oxbow from the Kaytee Exact junk food he was on because of his previous owner.
I add the pedialyte into the mix because he seems to have a hard time finding his water bottle and water dish. I tried to syringe him water tonight, but he just spit it back out. Any ideas on how to get him to drink?
Is a pellet slurry okay for now, until he will switch to "dry" Oxbow pellets?
