I know xylitol is toxic to dogs....I have no idea if any of them are safe for equines. I never even thought of trying it.

Honey is also great for getting things to 'stick' and donkeys love it, again a little goes a long way.<br /><br />Timothy hay pellets sound good. Wheat middlings are a high fibre by product of grain production and are a normal part of most low starch pellets. They're perfectly safe and are not the grain part of the cereal. Sounds like the Triplecrown would also be fine with that in mind, I've had a quick look at the specification and they would be within the limits for donkeys if fed in small quantities for giving supplements.<br /><br />Good luck with Badger!The Three Muleteershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05247097408523136083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213497394981397155.post-73991076499240320362013-04-16T21:59:41.389-07:002013-04-16T21:59:41.389-07:00Ps, you may get more suggestions if you turn off t...Ps, you may get more suggestions if you turn off the dreaded word verification.The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1213497394981397155.post-48481282721716296432013-04-16T21:58:32.055-07:002013-04-16T21:58:32.055-07:00Yikes, that's a lot of missing tail.

The stuff is rather repulsive, but it worked and I only had to do it once. <br /><br />As for feed, that is a tough one. I use Timothy hay pellets. A handful soaks up into a fairly large pile. That is what I use to mix vitamins with and what kept Ramsey still and quiet for all of his bandage changes. I get them at tractor supply. They are made by Standlee and the only ingredient is Timothy hay. They have worked well for me. If you need to make them a tiny bit sweet, a teaspoon of molasses dissolved in water goes a long way.The Dancing Donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274299120708749101noreply@blogger.com
