Just wanted to get some advice. I have a tiny patch of soil in the back garden which I am thinking of getting some lawn turf for and turning it into a little run for the piggies (For when it gets warmer). However I am unsure if I can buy generic lawn turf, would this be ok for the boys or would I need to get something specific?
Also what wood treatment is safe for the piggies in case they chew it.
 
There are quite a few good Pet safe preservatives out there readily available online from Amazon and also from the shops such as Wilkinson’s. This website is a good read ;)

As far as I am aware, as long as it is bog standard traditional turf and not ornamental you should be ok. Just make sure it has been mowed a few times (3-4?) before letting your piggies let rip on it, so that any chemical treatment it may have had is grown out of it. Hope this helps bud :tu:
