I am convinced it does, although I have no evidence. Scrufter has developed two in a short space of time (of which require ops) and she is on the grass quite a bit.

Is it high in anything? Like calcium or potassium or oxalates?!

I am very worried now.
 
What veggies do you feed, and pellets? Do you live in a hard water area, do your pigs drink plenty of water?

I don't *believe* fresh grass would cause or contribute to bladder stones but lots of other veggies can do.

Genetic predisposition is one factor also raised in the past i.e. stones will form regardless of diet.
