What block do you use for your boo balls? Some are better than others. Harlan Teklad makes one of the best hard extruded blocks on the market. It is 100% complete.
I make boo balls for my yard squirrels and any others I might have. I use Harlan Teklad 2018, ground nuts, veggie/fruit baby food, some FV 20/50 and Ultraboost, coconut and avocado oil. If you wanted to up the calcium buy some calcium carbonate or calcium citrate powder at a health food store and add it. I’m pretty certain it will contain a higher level of calcium than powdered goats milk. Sometimes I’ll throw in some oatmeal or granola. I don’t limit how many boo balls they can have.
Your boy might benefit from some additional calcium. If he likes and was eating Henrys blocks why don’t you buy some more? I feed my flyer both.....boo balls and a half block a day.
