Eating wood pellets

[teach]

We are looking at moving our yard onto wood pellets, and know this subject has been done so many times, but couldn't seem to find out if anyone's horse has been tempted to eat them. Just a little worried as we have some greedy m&m's who will try to eat anything and as it swells so much may cause them to colic. Has anyone ever had this issue?

Even my youngsters didn't touch them again after one taste and Freddy is a greedy guts of epic proportions!
I was worried at first when I changed to them but after the first top up which I damped, I just emptied the bag straight into the bed with no problems at all. I wouldn't change from them now from choice!

Most of mine ignore it, the odd one who has tried it has spat it out pretty quickly!

Thanks all....just need to buy some now and see how it works out. Can't afford £8 shavings or £6.50 nedz bed this winter!

Mine scoffs it given half a chance, so I just make sure it is soaked and broken down before she gets to it then she wont eat it
