Best 'treats' for treat ball?

[ecrozier]

Our youngster absolutely LOVES his ball that trickles food out around his stable. I would just put part of his dinner in it but he's thriving on Calm and Condition and AlfaA, and the C&C is rather too sloppy (soaked feed) to put in the ball, and the alfaA alone is a bit bland to get his interest.
When I have put chopped apples etc or actual little horse treats in he empties the lot. Bought some pony nuts and those are fairly popular but not quite as much as the treats
So just wondering what other people use and like in those ball things?

We use pony nuts, goes down a treat.

Hmm, he isn't that interested in pony nuts

have to add a handful of mix on top to get him interested plus struggle for space in our feed room and is an extra bag of feed! But will stick with them til finish bag!

Badminton High Fibre Nuggets

they are like giant pony nuts so like treats but they are a complete feed so you would need to take that into account

See if he'll eat seedless grapes. Che loves them and they are just the right size for his decahedron. Failing that I use Hi fibre cubes and it counts as part of his dinner ration.

Bob_Rob_n_Tiff, will look those up thanks!! Would only need a handful or so in there each night so shouldn't affect his overall intake.

I use Badminton Fibre Plus nuggets. They can be used as a partial hay replacer so have nothing added. Just fibre. My mare has them and carrots in her ball.
