No pellets diet!
- Thread starter Bourbon
- Start date
We have a few members who don't feed their piggies any sort of pellets.
As 80% of their diet should be hay anyway, pellets don't really make up a huge amount and piggies can do fine without them.
I think veg should still be a cup a day per pig - you just need to make sure they are getting a mix of veg so their diet is balanced and obviously supplementing with fresh grass when possible is also usually well received.

Make sure any grass you feed is free of fox and dog pee. And you have to be sure that it hasn’t been sprayed with pesticides. You also have to get them used to it over time. So give a small handful for a week. Then add more for another week and so on. I probably wouldn’t just let them roam there if it’s not in your garden.
