Non/Low Sugar Treats for Snakball

[lynz88]

I've been hunting around and thought it might just be easier to ask here. What are some low or no sugar treats that can fit inside a Likit Snakball?

I don't know the Likkit balls specifically but we use Agrobs Haycobs in our treatballs. That is what we feed in a bucket too.

Silvermoor do specific low starch/sugar treats and forage for horses.

 

[Melandmary]

Pure feeds do treats that are suitable for lami/ems

Bailey’s high fibre nuggets?

I used to feed those and they love them, but the combined sugar and starch is over 10% and they have molasses in. Shame because they come in a big sack for about 12 quid

Simple System Haycare is pelleted Timothy with no additives, sugar/starch under 10% and mine love it

We just use ordinary high fibre cubes. They're great as long as your horses aren't fussy / see them as something worth looking for - one of ours won't bother as the reward isn't enough but he'll eat them out of a bucket.
We used to use Global Herbs herbal treats as they're very low sugar but found the high fibre cubes keep them busy for a lot longer as they're smaller so more difficult to snaffle up and they're much cheaper to buy.

Simple systems lucie nuts are just fibre nuts or you could use thunderbrooks haycobs.

Dont the Agrobs haycobs need soaking before feeding?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Will have a look through. I think some of them might be too big as the holes in the Snakballs are quite small.

Thankfully he is secretly a pig and will eat anything you put in front of him.
