Likit Refill Mini Cherry 250g Horse Lick Treat Block Flavoured Equine Snack

Little Likit – Cherry, 250g

Cherry is the strongest-smelling of the Little Likits, which is exactly why it is worth having: a horse that has stopped bothering with the block in its Tongue Twister will usually come back for a cherry one. At 250g it is the size the Tongue Twister and Boredom Buster take, one or two at a time.

Formulation is the same glucose and dextrose block as the 650g Likit. Likit's guidance is one Little Likit per horse per day, so a single block is a day's worth rather than a week's.

Performance & Benefits

• Cherry flavour, the most strongly scented of the small blocks.
• 250g size for the Tongue Twister, Boredom Buster and Boredom Breaker ball.
• Good for restarting a horse that has gone off its usual flavour.
• One block equals one day's allowance under Likit's own limit.
• Fit two in a Tongue Twister for an easier puzzle, one for a harder one.
• Small format, easy to keep a couple spare in the tack room.

Suitable For

• Horses that have lost interest in a milder flavour.
• Tongue Twister and Boredom Buster owners.
• Ponies and smaller horses.
• Not right if you own a Likit Holder — that takes 650g refills only.
• Not one for a laminitic, insulin-resistant or Cushing's horse — the Rockies Baby Pure Salt Lick is the sugar-free lick we stock for stable enrichment.

Feeding

• Fits the Tongue Twister and the Boredom Buster — one or two at a time in each — and the ball section of the Boredom Breaker.
• It does not fit the Likit Holder. That holder takes the 650g Likit refill only, so buy the 650g size if the Likit Holder is what you own.
• Likit cap intake at one Little Likit per horse per day.
• Hang the toy freely at wither height, away from walls, so the horse has to work at it rather than trap it.
• A complementary treat, fed alongside normal forage. Clean fresh water at all times.

Composition & Analysis

• Composition, as declared by Likit: glucose, dextrose monohydrate, natural colours, natural and artificial flavourings, and potassium sorbate as a preservative.
• Likit describe the lick as glucose based — in their words, a simple form of sugar much like that found in grass.
• Likit publish no analytical constituents for the Little Likit range: no protein, oil, fibre, ash, sugar or starch percentage is given, so none is stated here.
• Analysis figures quoted on some retail listings are not Likit's own and are not repeated here.
• Net weight 250g.

Care & Caution

• This is a sugar lick. It is not suitable for laminitic, insulin-resistant or Cushing's (PPID) horses, or any horse on a restricted-sugar diet.
• Likit publish no sugar percentage for the flavoured range, so the sugar load cannot be quantified. Treat it as a sweet treat, not as a neutral boredom aid.
• Stay within Likit's own limit of one Little Likit a day. Good-doers and native ponies put on weight on licks quickly.
• Check the holder or toy and its rope each time you refill, and take it down if your horse bites lumps off the lick rather than licking it.
