Youngest is 13, oldest 30, with in-betweens as well. Nothing in the 20-24 range age the loss of one 😢

Another vote for Gallop trajan xtra or toofan. Survived my lot for years.

Spillers digest and condition.

This is my life this year 🙄. Generally dustbins who'll eat anything. 4 different sources, all text book bales, they'll eat maybe one/ one and half a bales then get picky, finally refusing. Away to collect from yet another source this week. Annoying thing is once they eat a bale, I'll...
