Wood chewing

[JaneMBE]

Phantom has just started chewing the stable panels, nice chipboard for him to sink his gnashers into!
Left a gaping hole in one

Noticed then that Magic was doing the same! She has never done it, so presume the bad boy has been coaxing her in to it!
have stapled plastic bags up for now, but just wondered why he has started this, he used to do it as a baby but hasn't done it for a couple of years.
Stress? Boredom? He is happy, they all are and grazing is excellent.
They are fed cheery chaff, balancer mix and carrots.
Herbie doesn't do it thankfully (he is just a plonker lol)

Prob not getting enough vits and mins, get some multi vits for them.

I ddi think that, but the balancer has all the vits in it? and I meant cherry chaff, not cheery chaff lol

thanks, will get a multi vit anyhow, can't hurt..

Horses just love to chew wood. Can you creosote it?

 

[JaneMBE]

I could do, in fact I think I will have to or they will be able to climb into the hole

Balancer would contain all the vits ponios needed if fed at recommended rates

JJ, Lukey does it all the time....but only one particular post, just ambles up to it, locks his teeth round it, chews for a min, then wanders off!!
