As requested by Corinowalk.
I have owned my Nippa for 9 or 10 months now. When I brought him home he was more than a little on the chunky side. He was obese!
So over the course of the time I have owned him his diet has been adjusted. He has been kept in a dry lot, being fed approximately 1% of his bodyweight in oaten hay a day, as well as a mineral supplement and the occasional treat of some chaff.
He has been shedding the kilos slowly but surely, until he has finally reached a point where I am happy with his weight. He now gets a small (tiny) maintenance feed each day of some chaff, lupins & speedi-beet in order to keep him where he is now.
Without further ado - photos!
Shortly after I first brought him home
About half way through
And now!
Scratching his butt
I thought I had more progression photos, but those are about it.
