So Luna is on Forage Plus Hoof and Skin Balancer and Egusin SLH, both of which are fed in quite large amounts. Not been a problem at all over the winter and when she was getting speedi-beet and micronised linseed in her food, but now the grass is coming through and her feed is cut right down to just Thunderbrooks chaff and nuts and not a huge quantity of it really. So now she's not interested, she picks at it for a while but then just leaves it. Is there anything I could add to make it taste nice so she'll eat it that is not full of sugar or might irritate her sensitive tummy??
 
Damp bran. I know it has a relatively high % of starch but for the amount you will need the overall % in the diet will still be negligible. They love it and the fact that it is damp seems to help with those supplements (I use them too, without damp feed including bran they took one sniff and left it alone)
 
Could you not still put a small amount of speedibeet in with it to dampen it? I am having the same problem with mine though and since he doesn't have any wet feeds I've got him a pelleted balancer instead and he's bolting that down!
