[AlpacaTalk] Re: Hijacked question about Alpaca Treats
Hi CJ.
I'm with everyone else as far as the usual treats. Apples, carrots, herbs, mulberry leaves, etc. I also grow wheatgrass in flats and I can not get it into the pasture fast enough for them. Since we are on dry lot, it may be the moist, fresh green that they love.
Also because we are on sand we give Sand Clear whenever it is called for. I do the beans in the baggie test to determine if anyone has it and then Sand Clear cookies are their favorite. I'll attach a link for the ones we make. Their healthy and made from all their favorite things, so usually everyone gobbles them up, a day or two and they are gone. You could make the same cookie without the Sand Clear too.
