I checked in the archives for this post but didnt have much luck. I apologize in advance if this has been on here before.
I think I am overfeeding my 3 Haflingers hay? A friend of mine came by and said they had HUGE hay bellies. I thought they looked ok.
My question is, how much and at what times during the day do you feed your hay to your haffies? I am also seeing (the internet) that it is best to feed frequently and in smaller amounts to keep their guts going.
I am now feeding at 7 am, 2 leafs each, again at 1-2pm, 1 leaf again at 4pm 1 leaf and again at 7pm one leaf. Is this too much? Also, the times you feed are important to me as well. I am going away soon and will have someone coming by to hay, but do they need to come 4 times a day? Also, they are on dirt pasture during the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
