hi i seen on the net there that oats recommended for piggies as a winter boost food?

is plain porridge oats ok?

do you feed them dry or add water etc?rolleyes:))
 
Yes, but they are very fattening!

You can feed them dry.
 
I have put a few dry oats in with food for some piggies that were very underweight, and they loved them. Not sure whether large quantities are good for them though. I have also made up porridge oats with goats milk in a pan, and fed it to new borns that needed some help. Never used as a winter boost food though as all my piggies are indoors. Good stuff. xx
 
i gave them a small amount in a dish, and they showed some interest and were eating it.

its not as a regular food, but just as an occasional treat now and again.

they all have good weight on them, but 2 are getting treated for mites, and recovering from an eye infection.

just wanted maybe like a boost food for their immune system?

they are all eating well, and have a good varied diet.
 
I would only use it in cases of underweight (as specified by nutmeg) and stick to a good varied diet otherwise.
