Our horse would rather eat snow than drink fresh water from a bucket..is this normal?? she gets alot of carrots and we feed her beet pulp, which has a lot of water in it, We bring out fresh water everyday and she wont touch it..also, when i line her barn floor with straw, she will eat the straw...
does anyone else feed whole spruce trees to their goats,,my goats just love them..they will even try to jump the fence when they see me dragging one out of the woods,,i would also like to know if there are any trees i should avoid,,what about birch trees??can they eat dried cattail stems??
The dogs cant get into or under the barn and as for traps..we set one and went out to check it..and the rat was caught in the trap trying to back down the hole..so i stomped on it and it still kept fighting so i used a pitchfork...and i won..so i guess i will have to set more traps:D
I have just discovered we have a rat problem around our chicken coop..we thought we had a squirrel problem..but i saw 7 rats tonight..we kinda live in the middle of nowhere and i dont know where they could have come from..anyhow, we dont want to use poison because we have dogs. Can anyone tell...
Thanks for the info, I am looking to get a couple of goats and im sure the 1 horse will turn into 2. it would seem that we have lots of space, i guess i need to start building a horse barn:)
