slow feeder for pellets?

sue wolf <wolffarm4@...>
 

I would use a nose it ball. you can buy a black water tub from tractor supply I think its a 40 gallon one  and fill the nose it ball and put it in the tub. he can play with it till the pellets are gone. I use these in my stalls and it keeps the saw dust out in they cant knock it out of the stall.. I also use it in the pasture for my 3 horses and set then apart. it works great.

Works well!
I have done this in several stalls.Used what was available -wooden boxes that were about 2' X 4' x 2'.
But large rubber maid tubs,etc. would work perfectly,too.Water tubs,too.

Or close the stall door.

Hi Lj,

I don't have experience with the electric pellet dispenser, but have you tried the Nose it Ball for Jesse as was previously suggested?
