ok, now what about grapefruit?

I swear, Masey will eat ANYTHING!!! what the other goats turn their noses up at, she just seems to love. I let the goats out this weekend to roam and she found a grapefruit rine I had thrown out to the chickens. Oh my gosh!! It was like she was in Heaven!! Any idea if it will make her sick? - is there a list somewhere of things I should make sure she doesn't eat (like my chicken food)? I know I've seen a list of things for chickens, but will look and see what I can find for goats.

Doubt it will hurt her. Mine have been getting orange and tangerine peels since Christmas. They love them! Don't see grapefruit peel hurting the goat.

Just replied to the pine/evergreen post and... From my readings related to the former, the general consensus seems to be that all parts of the grapefruit are "goat-safe". Not speaking from experience, only my limited research.

I feed my goats oranges, tangerines..etc cut up with rinds. As long as the fruits stay fresh with no mold, it should be fine.

I have a goat that loves grapefruit too....especially the peel! Always keep me guessing.
