Chinchilla
...
Our old Shetland's teeth were done last November and were fine, some sharp spurs were removed and the EDT said he actually has good teeth for his age, but that he did have some missing so may struggle to eat hay. Then his hay consumption, just after Christmas, began to decrease so he was put on the high fibre horse hage (think it's the blue one!), which for the first bag, he loved. Upon the purchase of 3 more bags the perverse pony has decided that it is poison.
I looked up "hay replacers" online and came across a couple of options; there's simple systems hay care, fast fibre (which he already gets in small quantities but I don't think he is terribly keen on it), or Dengie's grass pellets which all looked OK. Has anyone used any of these? What did you (or rather your horses!) think? Which would you recommend? What else is there that he could have - with as little sugar and as much fibre as possible and preferably soaked?
Thank you
