How often and how much should you give to help prevent wool block?

I fell across this website, where a member (as it turns out!) of this forum discusses her system for preventing/dealing with wool block in her French Angoras.
Hope this helps!

I'd just give it to her frozen. Pineapple popsicles! If she doesn't like them frozen, they'll thaw anyway.Easy Ears":1lhhbe3i said:Ok, so I have a HL doe who is throwing "Pearl strands" I have some frozen pineapple in the freezer. Could I just put a couple pieces outside in the sun to thaw and feed it to her? Would that help?
Yes, but I still view pearl strings as a cautionary thing. It does mean that hair is moving through, but to me it also means that more hair than normal is being ingested. We'll usually cut back on pellets and add some oats, and maybe give some pineapple.Zinnia":1lhhbe3i said:I would like to thank both of the previous posters for this information. So much of what we hear is the opposite... I always wondered how pearl strings could mean anything but that the hair is moving through.
