Apple stalk

[Merrypigs Sanctuary]

Naughty Duke is back to his usual self, happy eating for himself and putting weight back on every day The little monkey just stole and ate an apple stalk though! Will he be alright? I know apple branches are OK but is eating a stalk alright too? Little terror he is

That's the bit I mean

My piggies have eaten apple stalks before and non have come to any harm !the apple pips have a concern of choking !naughty Duke,he seems a lovely Boar !

Apple stalks are fine, only the pips should really be avoided becasue they contain small amounts of amygdalin, which releases cyanide into the blood stream when chewed and digested. But if he only chewed the stalk then you have nothing to worry about.
Cheeky boy.

If he is confident eating apple stalks then he is truly on the mend. Hope he is eating hay now?
