I live in the Uk and we dont have "miniature" feeds as you seem to do in the US. I have a mini thats two in May 08 and i have been feeding him the recommended amount of stud mix per his weight. However it does seem rather a lot of "volume" for him to be eating. He isnt fat but could do with loosing a few pounds before the show season. We have started a small routine of walking out in hand recently in preparation which will increase over the next few months. I dont have access at the moment to a round pen etc..
Now i have been recommended that to reduce the volume of feed to help his weight, to change to a stud balancer. However this has a high protein content ( around 25-30% protein ) and im worried that this will be too high. I have heard that a high protein content for minis is not good.
I dont want to just reduce the amount of stud mix as im worried if he isnt getting the recommended amount that he wont get the right amount of vitamins etc.
Worming etc has been checked
Please could anyone advise on the protein issue and please use plain " english " !!!!!!!
