Hello, me again!

Just looking for some advice really - I am wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks on getting your piggy’s interest back into hay after syringe feeding?

My little girl Biscuit is now gaining weight again and is beginning to thrive, she is more active in herself and more cooperative with syringe feeding now like she wants it. I have caught her now and again having a nibble on hay, but nothing major like I need her to in order to stop the Recovery feed confidently.

I have bought her at least 5-6 different kinds of hay to tempt her, I’m just wondering if there is anything else I can be doing to encourage it?

I would be so grateful for any advice. ❤️
 
Hello, glad to hear she is doing better.
Mine always have hay around and their favorite is Oxbow. I give them two different kinds of hay and they do very well with those.
Below are pictures of them and they are both grown in the US. Top one is the 2.55kg Hay Blend and bottom is Western Timothy Hay 4.09kg so around 9 pounds bag.
