Default feeding

Hi,

In Alfies new outdoor enclosure i have obviously planted it up with lots of nice eddible plants. I was wondering if i should still feed him any thing additional or just leave him to graze as he choses?

I am sure that the answer will be not to feed anything extra but i just would like to clarify it lol, its just that i hardly saw him eat any thing on sat and sun (i was at in the garden with him most of the time )

i guess he will eat if he is hungery 8)

hi fi

in my opinion

let him graze

keep an eye on his weight

im sure he will be okay

if he loses weight you might need to add a bit
