Hi Charlie You can buy grass seed from any garden centre
or shop. Put some soil in pots sprinkle seed on it. Keep it damp & you'll have all the grass you want. You could get it from your garden if no dogs or chemicals have been put on it.....B.J.

I didn't know they could eat grass! Fresh seeding grass is their staple diet in the wild. If you can get any from a clean source (no dog poo, insecticides, not by a busy polluted road), they love it. Just wash and hang in a bunch in their cage. Instead of flowers, I've got grass growing in containers on my balcony. They eat dandelion leaves and chickweed as well. |

As Stace said, they love wild grass, especially the seed grass.

I've grown Trill in a shallow container on damp kitchen roll then when it gets about an inch high, sprinkled a bit of their bird sand on top. I don't like using compost incase it's not sterile, but does ayone know if it's heated to a high temperature if this will kill any bugs? or would this distroy any nutrients in the soil?  |

Ruby, you can either just cut them off above the roots, or pull them out by the roots and wash the soil off. Either works.
