pasta and oats...

[Emma9383]

Justa quickie,
What brand oatmmeal do you guys use, how often do you add it and how do you add it to the diet?

Is fresh egg pasta ok for them, I find it much yummier than the dried stuff but is it suggie safe?

When you increase the food intake over winter, how/when do you go about reducing it again, and will there tummy's not have grown leaving them very hungry when you do reduce it again?

I start feeding them up in October and start to reduce March/April time depending on the weather.  The oatmeal I use is Mornflake but I have started adding wheatgerm to their food daily anyway.  Egg pasta would be ok, but I would only recommend one piece per suggie which is what I give mine (occasionally).

Add the oatmeal to the fruit/veg mix.

how much do you add to the fruit mix, I give each suggie a good tablespoon each, does it then soak up all the juice n make it dry so you need to add water?

I've started puttin a little bit of oatmeal just in a dish, mine LOVE it, no apple sauce or honey or anything, just plain oatmeal by itself. Didn't think they'd take to it on its own but they do. I don't give too much cos I don't want em filling up on it and ignoring the rest but so far i'm getting clean bowls and a clean dish and good lookin suggies
