i have a baby( was 5cm across ) stag that i have been watering through the
drought but it has lately developed a small white spot all over it and isnt
growing like it used too...
(now the new shoot is 1cm and not growing ) i water it every day but i
still seem to be losing it, i dont know what to do to keep it alive and am
lost for a cause
any tips would be greatly appreciated
thanks

I have some elks that I feed lettuce leaves to once a week. They are
extremely healthy as and I water these daily also. The lettuce breaks down
because the slugs, slaters and other small bugs eat it all. I n the process
creating leaf mould inside.

i would assume if you aren't feeding them then you maybe washing away what
little nutrient they have.
