Meadow Hay Bales

Just kidding, the list above was actually an advertisement on the box for the Meadow Hay they sell in a bag.

Sorry, here are the real ingredients:
Meadow Hay 100%, Crude Protein min 12%, Crude Fat min 2.8%, Crude Fibre max 25.7%, Moisture max 8.07%, Calcium 0.65%, Phosphorus 0.32%

Still, is this healthy to feed them?
 
Yes any meadow hay is good to feed them, quality and price vary between suppliers but also between batches from the same supplier depending on the weather in the growing season. Rosewood is a good brand usually, and those meadow hay cookies you mentioned are also a great piggy treat as they are literally just grass and hay with no sugar or grains or additives!
 
Is this safe to give piggies?

Hi! Yes, it is as long as you are not dealing with a bladder stone piggy. I would however not use it all the time as it is higher in calcium because of the added forage added than plain hay or otherwise leave away any extra forage treats.
