Expert Posts: 5293	My colt chewed a hole in his slow feed hay net. He has Orchard grass in front of him 24-7. I thought it was just a HOLE but as I was cleaning his pen today I noticed a nice pile complete with the missing hay net piece! I guess all is well that ends well. Colts need to be in a rubber plastic bubble with nothing they can get their teeth into!

Expert Posts: 5293	It wasn't a hay net after all. I went to looking around and found a red small plastic bag that the wind blew up against the fence to his pen. I couldn't see it from the inside. He pulled a piece of it through the fence and ate it. I found the remaining part on the outside of his pen. The part he ate was very small. Maybe 4 inches long. By the time it came out it was just a skinny piece of red string. Looked just like his hay net. Lol

I'm Over It!! Posts: 2830	Don't count on them passing slow feed hay net. I'm relatively sure that's what caused my 10 year old gelding to colic and die a year ago last Dec.
