If you want to stop the teading or pecking when they are in/out try hanging up some sugar beet, either whole beet or just the tops it doesn't matter as they love them and will happily peck away at them instead of each other.It just means a commando exercise one night round your local farmers beetfields to er 'liberate' a few!! They will also slide down ramps like kids if you make a sort of turkey slide from some smooth board propped on a straw bale.I've seen them sliding down them and running round to join the back of the queue for another go. We originally used some old calf pen doors resting on 4 bales for a shelter for them outside but they ate the bales at one end until it was resting on the floor then started sliding down the door.Kept them amused for hours.
