Hi everyone, I feed all my piggies on Harrington’s and I just got my second 10kg bag from amazon. Sadly the piggies seem pretty unimpressed. They will eat it but only after a while and Branston my skinny will always hand feed extra pellets but won’t touch these. They do look bigger pieces though.

Could try science selective grain free, they seem to go down well with many pigs. I was meant to switch to Harringtons today, but forgot 😴
 
Maybe they have changed the recipe recently? I would probably try emailing Harrington's to check
 
I bought a small bag to try mine on and they seemed to like it, then as soon as the big bag arrived they weren’t interested! Fussy creatures! Ended up giving it to a guinea pig rescue and buying them science selective - they get a mix of normal and grain free as some aren’t keen on the grain free.

I bought my boys the same brand and they love it. I give them a tablespoon each in their bowls in the morning, but by the time I go to bed it's nearly empty and when I wake up it's gone. My pellets look exactly like yours..maybe try breaking them up?
 
Try Oxbow! My pigs get this brand for both pellets & hay, they haven't gotten sick of it 🤞. I'm going to be looking into Science Selective though, thanks to @SkyPipDotBernie
 
Mine were on Harringtons and my Rainbow Piggie Velvet would have sold her soul for them. When she had bad bladder sludge and a stone I swapped them to Science Selective Grain Free as this had less calcium and now the four that I still have love those. They get a strict tablespoon per piggy per day and when they wheak for more I put in more hay and they have to like it or lump it.

That is what I do lol. Woke up this morning and they were banging their hay rack because their bowls were empty
