little likits

[Vikki89]

Anyone know of an easy way to get the little likit plastic out of the tongue twister/ boredom breaker?
It took me way too long and too much effort to get them out earlier, there must be an easy way.

No, but it looks really difficult. Anyone know if likits fizz up stabled horses due to the molasses or do they just make them pee in the stable more like salt licks do?

From the likit website -

As the main component of a Likit is Glucose, Likits will provide energy. However, provided the recommended daily intake is adhered to there should be little or no effect on your horse's energy levels.

That's very kind of you Vikki89 to find and post this info in response. Thankyou.

i have a very unconventional way involving the spike from a broken electric fence post, but its very confusing to explain.

the likit company now sell pointed pliers to pull them out with, probably much easier & safer then my method

I don't have anything to put Scooby's little likit in... he just has to have it on the floor. He tries to bite it though (I tell him it's called a LIKit for a reason, but he doesn't listen

) and picks it up in his mouth, and I worry he'll swallow it somehow and choke so he only gets it while I'm there to supervise. Keeps him busy while I'm grooming him, at least!

My method wasn't exactly safe, it involved a screwdriver, end of a spoon and pliers and took at least half an hour to get them out

Will have to keep an eye out for their pointed pliers.

the strange & dangerous thing we do for them! lol!

None of my horses bother with them, i discovered that squirrels kept eating all mine.

pliers....or just ask my horse, whenever I put them in her boredom breaker I come down the next day to find the likit pulled out of the holder and just the plastic casing left on the floor....needless to say she doesn't get them often! hohum!

Minto LOVES them, only he hasnt read that they are LIKits and uses his teeth and scrapes at them. That is when they are in the tongue twister thing which says it is impossible for a horse to get hold of! He got a new twister and the holes for the likits seem bigger and so they are much easier to get out, in fact too easy as he seems to manage to get soem of them out himself and I find the plastic holder in his bed the next morning. If not it is the yard pen knife that I stick ina nd sort of lever them out. But it seemes easier if i run the knife round the outside of them first.
