Lick Tubs: Treat and Enrichment in One
Lick Tubs for horses contain a firm mass in a tub that your horse can lick at for a long time. This provides enrichment, especially if your horse spends a lot of time in the stable. With us you will find the Delizia Bronchial lick tub with herbs, the StableSnack lick tub from Waldhausen and the Graze Maze lick mat from Likit with matching paste for refilling.
Beating boredom in the stable
By nature, horses spend many hours a day eating. If they stand in the stable for long periods, for example on box rest, in bad weather or in winter, boredom soon sets in. A lick tub gives them something to do and can help to reduce unwanted habits such as weaving or wood chewing. The Graze Maze lick mat works like a labyrinth from which your horse licks out the paste. That takes time, and many horses clearly enjoy it.
Herbal tubs for the cold season
The Delizia lick tub with respiratory herbs combines enrichment with herbs that are popular with owners in the cold season. Your horse takes in the herbs along the way, without you having to mix them into the feed. Place or hang the tub so that it cannot tip over, and keep an eye on how quickly it is emptied. If your horse is coughing or struggling to breathe, the tub does not replace a vet; it is an addition to good stable air.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a lick tub last for a horse?
That depends very much on the horse. Some lick away leisurely for weeks, others are considerably faster. If your horse is very greedy, only put the tub in the stable for limited periods.
Can a horse with EMS have a lick tub?
That depends on the composition, because many lick tubs contain sugar or molasses. For horses with metabolic problems, discuss it with your vet. A lick mat with a suitable filling can be an alternative.
How do I clean the Graze Maze lick mat?
Rinse the mat with warm water after use and let it dry thoroughly. Any remains in the grooves come off with a brush. That way it stays hygienic and is quickly ready to use again.
Lick tubs for horses that spend a lot of time indoors
When horses stand in the stable for long periods, they often lack anything meaningful to do. A lick tub helps here: your horse licks steadily at the firm mass and stays calm and content while doing so. The Delizia lick tub with respiratory herbs combines licking with herbs that many owners value in winter. The StableSnack tub from Waldhausen is a popular pastime for the stable. The Graze Maze lick mat is especially interesting, because your horse works the paste out of its labyrinth in small portions, and you can refill it again and again. Make sure the tub stands or hangs securely, and keep an eye on consumption with good doers. Especially during box rest after an injury, a tub like this is a welcome change for many horses and helps the long hours pass more pleasantly.
