Number of Wiesencobs per feed

[HappyHollyDays]

Having used the Agrobs Muesli during the winter and the boys both liking it I am about to ditch the Fast Fibre in favour of the cobs to carry their supplements.

Can anyone tell me how many soaked cobs are required to produce a mere mouthful? Don't want to soak too many as it says they can go horrible if left for hours and I don't want to waste any.

not many, they expand loads-3 0r 4?

Thanks MoC. Just hope they like them, they went off the FF and I need to get the salt and balancer into them.

I used to use about 10 to hide supplements. Any less and it wasnt enough to hide it properly

Thanks Leo I will experiment between 4 and 10 and see how they get on.

I use a double handful - but just to hide supplements a handful would be enough. #

I more often use the Weisenflakes. They are basically the same, just smaller so take less time to soak in colder weather.

They get wolfed down

Good to know they like them ON

everything I've had them on loves them. I am not known for fussy animals though lol (although weirdly they didn't like TB chaff). I don't give masses of supplements, just equimmins and salt and doubt they would need much to get it down them.

Neither of mine are fussy either MoC but I'm not surprised they they have gone off the FF. It looks really unappetising and I only switched to it from grass nuts at the end of the winter as a lower calorie alternative.
