So since we have had our piggies this year , we have been use sawdust for their bedding. Because of this though, I have been getting recurring conjunctivitis in my eyes. My GP has said it sounds like it’s down to allergies so could be from the piggies bedding.
Has anyone got any better alternatives? (They’re outdoor pigs btw)
 
I use flee personally, but as you have outside piggies hat is not really an option. I have heard of people using kiln dried and dust extracted pine, other types of wood shavings such as magazorb and aubroise.
@Piggies&buns has outdoor piggies and may be able to five you more detailed advice 👍
 
I use either aubiose (hemp) or megazorb (paper pulp - bi-product of the paper production industry) as the absorbent underlayer and then cover it all with lots of hay.
 
Burleybed is another option you could use. x
