[QUOTE="308win, post: 2801316, member: 102230"] Hesse, I'm guessing by this inquiry that you've already done a soil analysis and are aware you need more calcium and phosphorus? Your area will dictate what minerals you need. I'm in Central Texas and in no short supply of Calcium. Phosphorus on the other hand is our problem. Getting an animal to consume a mineral higher in phosphorus than what they are used to is a chore. I do it with cattle and there is a slow change in trying to get them to get their required intake. My suggestion would be to find a local supplier that can make the mix you need for your area. DO NOT take the word of your local retailer as they will try to sell you what makes them money. Get your soil analysis and go from there. I saw in an earlier post something about using kool-aid or some kind of other attractant to get them on it? Might work, never tried with a wild animal? My other suggestion would be a loose mineral, DO NOT USE BLOCKS! The animal does not get their required intake from licking on a block. It will be a slow process, but hang in there.
