Says that Mesquite Tree Beans can result in impaction colic.

Wonder if a 5 gallon bucket full constitutes excessive?

I ran across this on another list, maybe Susan or someone familiar with such a feed, would care to comment. %30 percent protein, gads! :oP

Thanks ahead, Skyla


<snip>I have an ample supply of Mesquite and Acaccie beans to feed them. I could not believe the nutritional value in these beans till I did some research. They are 30% protien and abot 30% fiber plus lots of other goodies on the mineral scale. I give the 3 big ones a 5gal. bucket full a day and they really slick them up.
