Every entry in The Bowl
-
Weighing food instead of scooping it
A scoop measures volume and food varies in density, so the same scoop delivers different amounts of different foods. A cheap kitchen scale removes the whole problem.
-
Free feeding, and what it hides
A bowl topped up whenever it empties means nobody knows what is being eaten.
-
Water is the boring one
Changed daily, container scrubbed weekly, and the container material matters more than people expect.
-
The hay question
For rabbits and guinea pigs hay is the diet rather than the bedding, and the proportion is far higher than most set-ups provide for.
Every entry is a job: what it is, what it needs, how often, and how you know it worked. Routine husbandry only — where a topic turns medical, the entry stops.
