Heidi, they're only getting a small amount of grain (a small coffe can
full) and a handful of alfalfa pellets a day - just treats, and hopefully
something to warm them up a bit.   

Maybe a quarter of a loaf of bread, along with the grain?  Do you think I
should tear it up into small pieces?

Thanks for the help.
