Wood pellets and weanlings?

[happyhacking:)]

has anyone ever had a problem with horses eating them? probs sounds daft but debating whether to use them over straw in the future but this could potentially mean using them to stable weanlings on. any advice?

Can't say if they will eat them or not - think that it an individual thing as some horses are inclined to and some are not.

However, if/when you are gelding them I was advised by vets to use straw bedding for a couple of weeks (rather than shavings)

Mine have got used to them by coming in with the mares and don't bother with them after the first nibble which they spit out hurriedly.
