I've heard there is a app which tells you what's good to feed your piggies just wondering if anyone knows of it or have tryed it. Or even would they recommend it?
 
You don't need an app to know what to feed your pigs, you got a brain 👍 yea get out of those facebook dumb groups. Here is the place to be

Ughh yea. Daily feeding of carrots kale.
Small cages.
Bringing out door pigs indoors for cuddles during winter.
Been in about five arguments already lol. But I've left them now.

I'm staying here where its safe and where my piggies will get the best advice

I’ll be honest, I left most FB groups when my responses were almost immediately shot down by incorrect and potentially dangerous responses from the massed keyboard warriors. I still watch a couple from afar but rarely get involved as there seems little point.
 
I dont think you really need an app for piggy feeding, like with hooman meals its all about planning ahead when you are shopping!
So tomorrow I have on my shopping list for 8 piggies (and 9 giant snails) beansprouts, 5 red peppers, 3 cucumbers, a big bunch of coriander, a bag of the spinach salad mix with beetroot bits, romaine lettuce, babycorn, mangetout, and carrots.
Then I usually just feed cucumber for breakfast (with 2 slices of carrot per piggy if its one of my 2 longer work days where it might be 12 hours until dinner) and then feed at least 2 different veg for dinner in order of use by date, its usually beansprouts and coriander on saturday (with a bit of babycorn), red pepper and coriander on sunday, red pepper and spinach salad monday and tuesday, red pepper and romaine wednesday and thursday, then whatever is left (often babycorn and mangetout, they arent too keen on mangetout but it keeps fresh for ages) on friday! Sometimes we also buy dill or parsley and stringless beans for a change, or an extra bag of babyleaf salad to scatter feed in the playpen, but that's my basic piggy veg regime. Doesnt need an app :)
 
I wasn't gunna use it. But more wanted to know if it was any good then I could warn them it's not good.
But yea would of been like talking to a wall lol

Plus I also think a lot of people these days have become very dependent on their phones and apps in general.
If they don't have an ap for that then it can't possibly happen.
Things like general common sense and a bit of old fashioned research to form educated opinions seems to be a dying art.
