Doe Less than thrilled w/new grain mix

I started adding whole oats to my grain mix (slowly of course), so now my mix is Noble Goat and whole oats with BOSS when it's on sale. However, the queen of my herd is all picky about the new mix and on top of some consistently rainy weather, her production has dropped dramatically. My other girls don't seem to mind it and my FF production has actually increased. Should I just wait until she gets used to it, or should I just eliminate the oats out of her ration?

our goats went nuts when we added the whole oats, made lot's of nummie noises, but acted pouty when we added the BOSS, lol...

I usually tease the girl's with anything new,
hold it in my hand and make them work to get it,
they seem to love forbidden fruit...
