We have been feeding our bladder stone prone piggie (and her 2 cage mates) the above instead of pellets, but I have just discovered that it has been discontinued.
Has anyone got any suggestions of other low calcium/oxalate, grain free feed?

Thank you (and Pigture of the silly pig)

Piggy parcels urinary pellets.
The PP pellets contain glucosamine at a high dosage which helps protect the bladder and The pellets themselves are made just from grasses.
Piggie parcels is a business owned by a member of this forum.

We have been recommended the Nutracys+ supplement by the vet, that has glucosamine, L-Theanine and Quecertin(sp?) in, so I guess we should stop that if we used these pellets?

Yes - You can’t give two lots of glucosamine.

If you can’t find a pellet you are happy with, just don’t feed any pellets at all. They aren’t needed in the diet - I don’t bother feeding pellets to mine
 
I had a pig that had a stone once and I started using a Brita jug to filter the water, and Selective naturals grain free guinea pig food. Drastically reduced parsley, basil, kale etc and opted for celery, romaine, tomato. No more stones :-) but if course I can't speak on other piggies who are prone to them, I just tried my best to minimise the chances of them because the stone looked awfully spiky and I couldn't even imagine how that felt to pass!

We've done all of that too. All the high oxalate foods have been cut out and they drink the posh filtered water whilst the humans drink it straight from the tap!
