How often do you feed your piggies hay cookies? I seem to give them another after they’ve gone through one - just wondering if there’s any downside to doing this. Thanks :)
 
They are just hay so from a dietary point of view there is nothing in it to worry about. However as they are only short and small pieces of hay, I don’t think they don’t work as well on the teeth as long strands of hay do. For that reason I give them fairly infrequently - I break one in half and give it to them once a week maybe for some variety but then they will go months and not be given any!
 
Thank you for your replies :) my boys adore them and even take them into their beds now. They’re in their hay pile just as much as usual, always best to double check x
 
We go through hay cookies in our house really fast. My kids think our piggies need them everyday. I normally wait a month when we run out before buying more. I mostly try to use them to help my 2 year old feed the piggies. He is autistic and hates touching things that appear to be food so it's a therapy thing for him.

I’m glad he finds the hay cookies manageable! Must be a lovely activity for him and the piggies :) x
 
I feed them when I remember them...which isn’t often because I rarely look in the box they’re stored in. Same goes for pea flakes...🤷🏾‍♀️
 
They LOVE PEA FLAKES! I give my two boys hay cakes every evening when hey have floor time in my bathroom. Lol. Less mess to clean up. 😊
 
OOH not tried Patsy on pea flakes must order some .... *goes off to order pea flakes*
I could have sent you some from my stash. I bought it maybe 2 years ago and it’s still almost full. Coco isn’t so sure about pea flakes. I think she’s more of a curious character as she didn’t accept rose petals the first few times I gave them some.
 
Mine get a hay cake a week unless I forget or run out.
I never know where in the cage it’s going to be as they love to move it from hidey to hidey.
My 3 do that too. I put the hay cookie in the middle of the run and by the end of the day it's gone walkabout!🤣
