Question about animals

[annadobritt]

All right, I've been through every product I own, sourcebooks, adventures, campaign manuals and every pdf too and cannot find the answer I am seeking.

How much grain should a horse get per day and how much grain should an ox get per day and how much should a donkey get per day?

I know the question is a little odd, but I need to know.

Thanks!

Source: 2E DMG p.123

horse needs about 10 pounds of forage and fodder a day. Good quality mounts should be fed grain, such as oats.

Ponies, donkeys and mules need about the same as horses, but are far more acustomed to feeding on grass alone...

Checked a bit further, the following sites might be usefull:

Enough ammo for grain ;-)

Thank you, Cergorach!

I even looked in my 2e DMG last night. Or rather early this morning and missed that section.

These other links are most helpful too.

Thanks again!
