Does anyone use these hay balls, in particular smaller ponies or donkeys? I am thinking of getting a couple for the donkeys. Now Dolly is gone it seems to have upset the feeding ratio of hay in the field. They are both getting the correct amount twice a day, but wolfing it down and then standing around hollering at us for more food, whenever we step outside the door. We think one of them in particular is feeling her absence quite badly (
) and is moping about looking very fed up between meals, so the entertainment value might be a good idea too.
Do you think they pony size would be safe for little donkey hooves and would they have the patience to roll it about and pull the hay out of the holes. Does it get to a point where they can't get to the last lb or so of hay so just leave it? Any thoughts in particular if you have used one to slow down greedy feeders would be great thank you. Any particular make for preference?
