Peanut shells for food?

[Straw Hat Kikos]

I was wondering if anybody does this or if anyone knows the nutrition contents for peanut shells? I know that my goats love to eat them and Callie just stole some and I was wondering if I could put a wee bit in the goats feed and maybe Callie's? I would not take any food away, just add some shells. I can't imagine it would be bad for them.

I feed whole roasted peanuts (unsalted) as treats all the time, mine love them. I don't know how much nutritional value is in them though

Cool. Thanks. yeah I think salted peanuts would be a bad idea. haha

I just did some research and found that peanuts, including their shells, are fine for goats. I also read that acorns are fine if not fed to much of them. We were talking about that somewhere on here but I can't find the post.
