Elderly ham - Foods for weight gain?
Hi
We have a 2yr 8m dwarf who has been slowly losing weight over the last few months and is down to 32g (from 50+g originally). He is doing ok but has a tumour which has now come back twice but both we and the exotics vet struggle to know if he’s in pain. He is on quite a high dose of metacam to be on the safer side.
He’s just been back to the vet for a checkup today who advises to feed more. He already has his seed mix, 2 mealworms a day, veg and sometimes fruit most days, and the odd cashew/walnut.
I was going to start giving a bit of rice or pasta for added carbs and find some extra sunflower seeds, is there anything else that can help keep his weight up a bit? I’m being more lenient with fatty or slightly unhealthier foods with him and just trying to keep him as happy as possible.
Thank you
