Hes only fed just grass so.not much to disguis taste but he doesnt need more feed plus hes on.just grass cz no.molasses so dont want to add molasses to disguise supplement..

Dried mint is quite good for disguising taste/smell of supplements/wormers. You can buy a big tub for a few pounds. It lasts for ages as only a small scoop is needed.

Garlic, Mint or Apple vinegar?

Apple juice works for some

You can disguise anything in speedibeet! Its unmolassed and horses find it really palatable. I can get anything in mine if i stick it in speedibeet

Where do u get dried mint from? Dont want to feed garlic as its not great :/

Fast fibre is great! You only soak a wee bit and it it disguises anything, and seems very palatable. Plus it is basically just fibre, so low calorie and non heating.

apple juice worked for ours, so did grated carrot
