Recommendations for putting weight on a thin animal

[Straw Hat Kikos]

More feed and Alfalfa hay, not pellets. Give all the Alfalfa that can be eaten and increase the feed. Easy, fast, and one of the best ways to get an animal to gain weight.

That is how you purchase it, it is cracked corn with a higher moisture content. if you can't find steamed corn, then cracked corn will work.

I take a pot of rapid boiling water and add a scoop of cracked corn. Turn off heat and cover with tight lid. The next day it will be like popcorn. I feed it to my nannies after kidding to put a little weight on them after nursing robbed some much nutrition from their system. Peanut hay for protein. Soaked Alfalfa cubes for treats.
