I purchased a bag of the Manna Pro goat minerals from TSC until the Sweetlix comes in that I ordered, and all 3 of my nigerian dwarfs won't touch it :( I feed my buck Purina Noble goat. The levels look good and it has ammonium chloride in it. I bought it at TSC also.

Naturally they won't eat it!! It cost a lot of money and they know that!!

I feed Manna Pro Minerals and mine will eat it. I put it in a Sweetlix bag and fooled the little buggers.

Go ahead and put out a little of the Manna Pro, if they REALLY NEED it, they will nibble some when you aren't looking.

When you get your sweetlix, you can mix the manna pro into it in small amounts and FOOL THE LITTLE TYRANTS.

I use mana pro too. I have seen my doe licking at it but not my buck. I just kept offering. I only put out a small amount for him to see if he tries it and now I can tell when he does. He just never lets me see.

Switched mine over last weekend -well half and half til the old is gone. They seem to like it. This weekend switched the feed half and half again til all the old is gone. So far so good :lol: I was so worried they wouldn't eat the minerals I sat in the barn forever to make sure. My vet said they will eat when they need it. I just want to see them eat it.
