Hiya, I don’t venture onto this section very often but am looking for views please for adding straw to haynets to help bulk out overnight forage. I’m after something really low calorie for my good doer so that he has enough to eat overnight without adding calories. In a haynet ideally. If it’s in a bucket I think he’ll wolf it down.
It seems like feeding oat or barley straw mixed with his normal hay ration could be a good option but I’m not sure if the chops that I’ve seen can go into a haynet or they are meant as a bucket feed? He gets denghi hi fi lite which seems like it’s a straw based chaff but is that too short/fine to go in a haynet? Honeychop seems to be popular but is that ok for haynets?
Thanks!
