I also think I was way over feeding them, because home cooking was new they were eating all that I offered. They are doing better now. |
Oh man! Daisy eats sweet potatoes and I can relate... I'd avoid the peas, they are higher in carbs and they will get fat. Better veggies are squash, bell peppers, broccoli, green beans, carrots. Mine love bell peppers and we feed as snacks. They get about 20 grams of veggies a day so it is a very small amount. I usually feed veggies raw. Mine even have knock down fights over celery. Avoid spinach it is very high in oxalates and our breed is prone to stones...also in my experience, feeding spinach has thrown off kidney values and resulted in crystals in the urine after only a few days of feeding so I no longer give spinach or dark leafy greens to them.
