Himalayan salt, also known as halite, comes from a mine in Pakistan's Punjab province. br>The salt contains 84 minerals and is one of the best sources of sulfur, which can aid in the treatment of fatigue, stress, pain, and cancer. br>Magnesium is a mineral that helps to prevent heart disease, regulate blood pressure, and even reverse osteoporosis. Potassium is a mineral that keeps your heart beating and lowers your blood pressure. Calcium is a mineral that helps to strengthen your bones and teeth. br>As well as a slew of others.
There are three sizes to choose from. The title remains at 2 regardless of which size you choose. 2 pounds. I opt for the number four. 4 lb. size, and number four I only gain 4 pounds. There is a rope included.
I don't see why not, as long as goats can manage mineral salt blocks. My miniature horse, like my full-sized horse, adores them.
It's not particularly long, but it's long enough to secure something inside a stall. I've got them tethered to the feed buckets on the wall.

UPDATE: It's been three years. Instead of buying one of the standard salt wheels, I bought one of these for my daughter's bunny. Before buying, I did some price comparisons and discovered that standard salt wheels cost around $5 for 4 ounces (or $1. 50). 25 per ounce), but this one comes in at 4. 70 pound (4 pound) It was only $8 for a 4 oz. block. 50 cents per ounce (approximately 12 cents). With a cost of less than one dollar, this is unquestionably the most cost-effective option. I like that it is a solid piece rather than a pressed cake because it is a tenth of the price!br>br>I also like that it is a solid piece rather than a pressed cake because it is a tenth of the price! We tied the cylindrical block in the corner of his cage, which is 4 1/4 inches long and 4" wide, and everything is fine. If and when we need one, I'll buy another. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> I bought two of these three years ago for two rabbits who live in separate cages. The bunnies are still on their original blocks, despite the fact that both salt licks are significantly smaller (the rope lasted less than a year but was easily replaced). By the end of the summer, the larger rabbit will most likely need a new salt block, but the smaller rabbit still has half a block. For my son's bun, I bought a third one. bun about a year and a half ago, and she seems to prefer them to her old salt spool as well. They are unquestionably long-lasting and cost-effective.
Every day, a couple of deer come into my yard. I noticed one of them licking the side of my brick garage all the time and decided it would be better off with a nice salt block. The deer were uninterested in it for the first couple of days after I put it out, sniffing it and then walking away. I began to believe I had squandered my funds. But then the deer changed their minds, and I would occasionally see two of them licking at it at the same time. I bought it on May 16th, and it's almost completely gone by July 4th, despite the fact that rain and humidity helped dissolve a lot of it.
Salt Lick at a Reasonable Price: 9/10br>br>I purchased this for the deer and wildlife that live on the land behind my house, as I enjoy photographing them and wanted to add to the area. I used the honey on the salt block trick to get them used to it, but now they come back and lick the block without it. So far, I've captured images of deer, coyotes, badgers, unwanted skunks, rabbits, and even a bobcat! It's inexpensive for the amount of salt you get, and it's also visually appealing, resembling a pretty rock.
In comparison to the nearby white salt blocks, my horses were immediately drawn to these. The majority of the horses lick and walk away, but one draft gelding has figured out how to trap the hanging block against the wall. This allows him to crunch and eat chunks of food. The block will undoubtedly shatter into edible fragments. This is the same guy who headbutts his slow-feed hay net until all of the hay falls out on the ground, allowing him to eat it all at once.
My horse can't seem to leave it alone; he licks it, sucks it, and chews on it if he could. My other horse is only interested in it on rare occasions. I'm not sure how I feel about that. They eat the same grain, drink the same amount of water, and eat the same amount of alfalfa. I suppose I'd have to give it 5 stars to the person who likes it because he enjoys it. I'm going to give it a 3 to the person who barely pays attention to it, not because there's anything wrong with it, but because he's not interested.
This was hung for the deer who come to see me. It's not the same brand as the one I previously purchased. And wow, in the first two days of putting it out, this thing wore through the rope w/i. It's now sitting on the ground, and the deer aren't interested in it. br>However, they continue to lick my original OTHER brand, which has been hanging for nearly four months. This brand is not one I would recommend; I was very disappointed. Returning to the other manufacturer's product.
This is a favorite among the goats (eight large breed wethers). I easily removed the rope and threaded a gate chain through it, attaching one to the fence and the other to the inside of a barn gate. There are more minerals and no binders in these himalayan salt blocks, which is a plus. Goats require loose minerals, but these blocks are great for adding a little extra salt and providing entertainment.
