#1 Make your greens such as Collards your MAIN staple and supplement with the other stuff.
#2 Use Apples and alfalfa sparingly. I usually only give crushed alfalfa to mine a few times a month. They get protein in the green beans as well.
#3 Are you peeling your grapes? Only using the flesh of the squash? The peelings are harder to digest.
#4 as an afterthought, how clean was the house he came from? Igs that are allowed to free roam will injest things quite easily. They have been known to swallow coins, panty's and even pantyhose! I wonder if he's done that? Keep your floor clear of objects and vacumed. Hair can also cause a blockage.
Hopefully other people here on the forum will give you more suggestions.
Considering what you've told us about his bowel movements I would STRONGLY recommend an exray as soon as possible. That way they can not only check for a blockage, but also for kidney problems. Good luck and let us know how he does. J
