if she needs weight and shes eating it, its a good idea! Its grass so a fibre feed, so doesn't come with the issues you get with other cereal based bucket feeds. She will probably settle down once the novelty wears off. Making it sloppier may slow her down until then

Shes eating everything 'feed/slop' i give her at a rate of knots so shes clearly hungry! will wet it more and hope she steadies up a little!

Thanks
How does fast fibre differ to fibrebeat is it better? and how much can i feed her as a hay replacer do you know?
Dentist was a vet before doing teeth full time, but not my vet. Once hes seen her today i will be getting the vet.
You would need to contact both manufacturers for max you can feed as a hay replacer, fiberbeet is more conditioning, there is linseed in the fast fibre you could add more micronized linseed if more weight gain is required
