Might be the same size as Burgess Lite, but it's a lot bigger than the
Junior.
My lot were eating the Burgess Junior till I took a trip to PAH.
They raised their eyebrows when they saw the PAH "new" Junior...the pieces
are twice the size! Baby buns just leaving the nest have tiny mouths.... I
once hand reared some babies, and we weaned them onto minuscule scrapings of
carrot, and crushed pellets. I've seen them eating strands of hay in the
nest, but if their first experience of "grown up" food is also small and
baby sized, they will be more eager to get involved.
I've got no big deal with this really.... it's just that I had minibuns
leaving their nest 3 weeks ago, and it's fresh in my mind... I can visualise
anything smaller than Dutch at that age deciding the new size is "grown-up"
food, and wondering whether to bother with it... as opposed to tumbling out
of the warm-and-toasty fur-and-hay haven at a tender age, then coming across
a bowl of mix or small-bore pellets with pieces they can actually fit in
their mouths....!
