how do you feed apples and carrots??

[sallypops]

am i right in thinking carrots should be cut length ways??

is there any specific way apple should be cut??

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Erm I don't cut carrots in half unless they are really big then I snap them. Apples I cut in half down from the stalk.
As far as I'm aware there is no rule for this

 

[sallypops]

well i used to just break carrots, but then i read on here that it can make them choke, so i was just wondering. abby has taken a big fancy for apples so was just checkin if there was any particular way they should be fed

Apples - as there's never any knife available I just stamp on them to break them up or hold them whilst ponio mucnhes on them. Carrots just get thrown in with the food or if very big, get snapped in half.

carrots should be cut lenght ways so they dont choke on the round pieces.
Apples i asume anyway so as they are not round, so the normal way would be ok!
Ive also heard that horses shouldnt eat more than 3 apples a day.

i feed Big C carrots snapped if large, and i put an apple in whole as he bites it straight in half!

 

[Wigglypigs]

apples quartered and carrots lenghtways if in a feed or whole if in holding the end
Had a horse roll a whole apple around in its mouth for ages and almost choke as it couldnt get any urchase with its teeth.very scary!
No point in risking choke in my opinion for something so simple as a few chops with a knife

I don't feed carrots at all but when I used to I chopped them lengthways to avoid choke. I cut apples into quarters.

 

[spotty_pony]

I either feed them whole or cut carrots length ways and slice apples up into pieces.

 

[Sprout]

I always cut carrots longwise and apples in slices.

 

[sallypops]

yeh i always have cut my apples into quarters, i thought it would be dangerous to feed them whole. is it not dangerous to feed carrots whole tho, are they not too big??

i cut carrots length ways and apples into slices

 

[Native Speaker]

I feed carrots whole. If they are big then I snap them in half. Have never fed them sliced or cubed, as that's asking for touble. The choke risk is too great. I cut apples in half, and usually feed them by hand.
