Default What Wonderful Weather! - But...

Hey,

The weather has been brilliant since tuesday last week and i'm sure many of you have been out there enjoying it! But whenever i put charlie outside, he always tends to eat eat and eat the grass... is that a problem?

Mike

hi i dont keep horsfields myself but i understand they have a voracious appetite if he insists on eating grass on the days he is outside dont feed him anything else.grass is tough and fibrous so cant help but be good for his beak and his digestive system.
