If our pet lambs come across some dried horse poo they have a good munch on it. When our mare had her foal the foal used to eat her poo, presumably to get the right bacteria from it for a healthy gut. Could this be what the lambs are seeking to do? Should I be discouraging this or leaving them be? I hasten to add that we do poo-pick our paddocks but its impossible to get every scrap.
Would appreciate opinions. Thank you.
