Re: [AlpacaTalk] minerals

 

My vet told me it was fine to let the alpacas have the Dumor Sheep mineral that I get at TSC.  Because sheep are also copper sensitive, it doesn't have too much copper in it.  It is a loose mineral that they get free choice and all of my alpacas will eat it.

I need to order more minerals for my guys. I have always used Dr Evans
E Formula; but thought I would ask what most of you here use.

My guy have never particularly liked these and won't take free choice.
I have to use them as a top dress on top of beet pulp so they don't all
fall to the bottom of the feeding bowls where they go to waste. The
pacas just won't eat them unless mixed in somehow. Somedays we are in a
hurry and/or don't have the beet pulp soaked and just need to feed and
get on. Those days they don't get minerals.

It would be great to be able to just offer free choice; would make the
twice a day feeding a but easier and faster.

For those who order Dr Evans formula, have you found a cheaper source?
I have always just ordered directly from him but am thinking it might be
available now at other outlets and perhaps a bit less expensive.

Thanks! Janice
