hi have to agree with what has been said so far just like to add that these animals can and do like access to fresh water and if you are keeping them indoors on hemp they will need regular baths as they can dehydrate very quickly . i would also be very careful when changeing the diet as i find it causes less stress if you add weeds and grasses over a period of time gradually reduce the junk food and add something like readigrass to increase the roughage .as sue said these are grazing animals so when they can get out on the lawn they will be alot happier .i wish i could say mine have the same diet all year as viviennes but i struggle to get enough weeds in the winter and add a lot of graze on to the diet.
