Burgess Fresh Forage Barn Dried Grass

[Kylie80]

Bought a couple of bags for the piggies thinking it was the timothy hay because it looked the same and then got it home and realised it is a) barn dried grass and b) for rabbits. Is it ok to feed it to the piggies? If yes is it a main hay or treat. Can it be fed every day and is it ok calcium wise. Really hate when I go shopping without my glasses lol.

I guess that's my pigs and it's not cause the problem for my pics in fact they absolutely love the stuff
I don't give it to them as the main high but I will give it to them couple of times a week because is quite high fibre grass so that way I know they're getting some roughage
Glad to see Apple stick Titian is being rubbish again

Yes guinea's can eat this too, mine love it. I tend to give it as a treat 2-3 times a week as it's expensive for what it is and I have 9 pigs to feed. But we do get it in at the animal shelter I work at and we give it to them like every other day.

Yes! I have the exact same, and thought it was weird that it specified for rabbits! I sprinkle it in their hay as a forage thing as they love it! I personally wouldn't use it as the only source in their hay box as a) I wouldn't want them soiling it (and therefore me throwing away loads as it's too good quality for that) and b) it's quite short and my girls like rooting and burrowing and it's not suitable for that. I think £4 for a kilo pack is well worth it for me, as I'm using it as a forage mix so it lasts aaaaaages

Do you use that everyday for foraging?

Most days I'd say, but I have other foraging bits for variation.
