I have a tiny problem. The field is atill split and due to the grass been low and the ever risk of lami I have been putting hay out all over the field so ginger cant guard it. The problem is sox will spend all day if I let him mainly cribbing! He wont really go too far away from where he cribs and he wont eat the hay.. Ginger on the other hand, will happily spend time eating the hay! The only time sox will eat the hay if if I put him in his pen ( Mainly due to the lami risk) However it is a very small pen with a lot of hay in it. I guess I wish he would eat more hay but at the same time I am worried due to the lami as its no life if he has to spend days in his pen :(
 
You're looking for problems again Lauren. Relax.

If Sox isn't eating the hay & Ginger doesn't need it then stop putting it out, they can have more at night. If Sox has to be in his pen then give him some there, but if he doesn't need to be in there then let him be and stop worrying about getting him to eat hay he clearly doesn't want in the day.
