Raindear food

[Exfarmer]

A question on our local village forum.
where can I buy “Raindear” food
much advice about such product with glitter, some say glitter is poisonous to wild life.
however others say Amazon “ biodegrade ball “ is wild life friendly

can the wisdom of the forum be diverted by myself to help the locals in my country village, get aquainted with the realities of life.

Nothing to do with a friendly weather service then?

Reindeer

because they are the only species of deer that were put to the rein

Or just Caribou because that’s what they are....

It's a massive market, to be exploited. Kids now put food on the lawn for when Santa lands. Grain store sweepings would do the job, get it bagged and in your local farm shops now, worth far more £/t than the rest of your grain .

Rudolf the red nosed Caribou doesn’t have the same ring to it

You really mustn’t mention the colour of his nose, he might get offended along with all the other r-d nosed reindeers!

When our kids were little they insisted we put a net of haylage out for Santa's reindeer.

We have a window on the landing that looks out onto a single story roof that's next to the chimney - we used to tie the net there.

After they'd gone to bed, I used to go and find 2 or 3 stiffish cow pats to leave near the haylage net when I emptied it.

They thought it was a great laugh that the reindeer had 'poohed on the roof' while Santa was delivering their presents.

No, but if you’re going by how it sounds, it doesn’t really matter how poorly somebody spells it then, would it

Much better than my taking a bite out of a mince pie and a carrot!!

Rudolph the nosed caribou?

I'm not sure if it is still the case but I remember hearing on Radio 4 a year or so ago that glitter was made from plastic so probably not the best thing to be spreading around

luckily an enterprising young lady is flogging reindeer food is small plastic sachets for a £1 each to help out these poor people. It looks suspiciously like porridge oats to me.
