Also, the straw varies so much in terms of coarse, tubular bits and finer pieces , that I find if it's in a hay bag, most of it ends up on the floor. They prefer to nose around in it for the small bits and what they don't eat, I add to their bedding.Cynthiahttp://www.donkeydame.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251085862530498602.post-5977818580105595622013-11-27T12:14:39.353-08:002013-11-27T12:14:39.353-08:00You could try putting the straw in slow feed nets....You could try putting the straw in slow feed nets.

My guys hardly have any hay with their straw at all until the depths of the winter but this might not work for your guys too well.... it is such a challenge to feed such good doers - I can sympathise!The Three Muleteershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247097408523136083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4251085862530498602.post-59620517230243307712013-11-24T16:51:37.142-08:002013-11-24T16:51:37.142-08:00I tried free choice round bale with my Haflinger. ...I tried free choice round bale with my Haflinger. . .and she blew up!
