Hay boxes - is this just literally any old cardboard box stuffed with hay, with holes cut in for access (ie no open sides?) How often you need to change the hay (daily or not?) and what about the box (all that lovely GP pee & poo!) how long do you leave it before replacing?
Hot weather - is there anything I can do to make sure they are OK - we have had them about 4 weeks now and I have yet to see either of them drink a single drop of water! they don't like cucumber or grapes or other juicy wet stuff except romaine/gem lettuce & peppers. They have towels over the top of the run to keep them shaded. I did wonder about using wet towels so its even cooler, but not sure if that's a bad idea?
Parasites - are the spot treatments meant to be prevention or cure - ie should I be using these regularly as a matter of course or only if we suspect parasites?
I'm sure I read somewhere that they can eat roses? I may have dreamed it does anyone know (and is it petals or leaves?)
