My 25 year old (vet thinks she's older) dentally challenged welsh cob has begun turning her nose up at her 'soup'. She is also refusing any kind of chaff.
She is a poor doer who colicked in December. Her weight is ok but during this cold snap she's needed 3 medium trug of soup per day and an extra 2 trug if she has to come in overnight (she has arthritis so I keep her out as much as possible.
Soup currently includes grass nuts, veteran vitality and my feed merchants own brand forage nuts (basically pony nuts for oldies).
She hates speedibeet. She likes fibrebeet/alfabeet but it sends her in to orbit. She'll tolerate Fast Fibre for short periods but then goes off it.
Any suggestions for tasty alternatives to the above or just something to add to make it more appealing for her? Also any soft chaff that is really tasty? Don't really mind how naughty it is, at this point I just need to get her eating.
