I have 2) 5 year old Wethered Nigerian Dwarfs and 1) 4 year old. I live in Northern NV and we are on well water.
They are fed grass hay and Sweetlix Meat maker supplement, free fed.
this is the first year that all three coats are not looking great. One, the hair is really course and almost looks singed and the hairs on his back legs are turning white instead of his usual caramel color, the black & white one, his back legs are turning a light rusty color and and my white and black ones hair is course and he has dandruff… this is the first year I have ever experienced any coat issues… I have been reading and it sounds like a copper deficiency maybe due to my well water? I had it tested when I first bought the property and it is high in iron and calcium, essentially hard water…can this affect the absorption of Cooper? If so how do I treat? Just need some guidance…
