Uncle Jimmy's hanging balls?

the hanging balls took my horse about 3 weeks to eat but there was another horse on the yard that ate it in 40mins - licky thing doesnt last long if it isnt in a likit holder (not that you asked about that) but never tried the squeezy buns never tried them :)
 
It took my `forever starving` pony about three weeks to eat it too. Dangling from a hook in the centre of the stable, he had to really want a lick to get at it. Unfortunately he clearly chased it all around with his head which invariably ended up as a sticky mess with seeds stuck to it!

Bless him, he does like them!
 
Jimmys Hanging Balls are great !! lol my girl loves them, but she does tend to get very sticky herself while she eats them which she does do very quickly, so they are a treat once in a while.
 
I wouldn't feed them as they are so full of sugar. KellysHeroes, what are these sugar free ones you mentioned? Mine is on box rest and horrid starvation diet with laminitis at the moment and the vet has just said she wants to test her for Cushings as well so some sort of boredom breaker would be great if it were allowed...

Personally I won't feed molassed treats at all, ever. I'd much rather hang a swede or hide carrots as I think it's better for them. Sadly the vet said even this has too much sugar for my poor pony at the moment :(
 
Unbalanced...the sugar free ones are ok for horses with lami...did lots of investigative work and there is nothing in them that will cause a problem and in fact are marketed for horse with lami, and sugar resistance

Gave my guy one at the weekend...thought I had been oh so clever by making sure he couldn't get it on the wall and for the first hour that I watched he was having a great time licking it, tried to bite it but couldn't get even his big gob around it....by the time I got back int he evening the whole lot had gone :eek: ...I have not yet been able to figure out how and until I do he isn't getting the second one I bought him...to expensive to last only a day :mad:
 
The resident robin took ownership of my poor horse's hanging ball. Greedy little devil took it upon him/herself to divebomb her and squawk menacingly if she so much as glanced that way. It lasted ages though, robins don't have very big stomachs.
