Meroman 105 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Its bulk feed and loses all nutrients when boiled, much better to soak and let it chit for all round goodness.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
francolin 449 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 agree everyone,soaked is defo the best,boiling is a nice change cos its soft for em,a treat,not that beneficial,sorry about :icon_redface:spelling but they say a change is as good as a rest keep soaking.
