Naturals treats etc

[Joey&Gizmo]

Are these ok to feed?

As my boys love most of the naturals range, especially the parsley bells! I thought that because they are made natural their isnt any artificial colourings in them?

 

[Joey&Gizmo]

Anyone know?

I think you can feed natural treats, in moderation, as long as you adjust the rest of their food. I think too much parsley can cause bladder stones (correct me if I'm wrong!), so you might not want to feed them more stuff with the same nutrition as parsley if they've just had loads of something in it, if you know what i mean

I love giving the piggies stuff they love! Right now my piggies fave is swedish crispbread. It's unweetened etc, so I think it's ok for a little treat every once in a while...

Thank you, i dont give them the parsley bells often and ive only given them two since ive had them and ive had them for over a year now. I only tend to buy them for a treat like christmas or their birthday and i give it during floortime.

Ive also got some crackers that are made by bunny nature and they say they are all natural, that is their treat for Easter as i bought them from animal magic in aid of the fundraiser in the bunny bag packs

I remember reading a warning on another board last year about the Parsley bells making someones pigs seriously ill so haven't given them to ours ever since.

We feed ours the bunny nature snacks now, they go wild for the beetroot ones and have also recently found some sugar free snacks by Critters choice so are trying those out too, but generally ours tend to have fresh herbs and veggies.

In terms of treats, I can only recommend the pure dried herbs. The Excel Nature Sticks are also fine, as they are dried herbs wrapped in vegetable parchment. But beyond that, I have not come across any treats that are not, quite simply, junk!
