Pea Flakes

I find scatter feeding 1 table spoon of pellets a day per pig ( bowls are boring)

Vit c veg twice daily. I do coriandor, red and green bell Pepper, cucumber ( for the hydration bonus) I add kale, and carrot only about twice a week

Plenty of timothy hay. Never allowed to run out.

And filtering tap water if it's hard


These are the foundation rules I stick to and you can't go wrong

Thank you for the advice!
I do use bowls and I am currently giving them two tablespoons of pellets per day per pig as they are growing and are really liking them. They get a teacup size (per pig) of veg each day. I usually give them half in the morning and half in the later afternoon/evening. Plenty of timothy hay! That is about it at the moment, but I will be ordering them the winter survival piggie parcel, still unsure about pea flakes, but decided that they will not be getting the commercial treats I bought them (can't remember the name) so sadly that will go in the bin lol. I was going to wait until I have spoken to the vets, but I feel she will be saying the same as most of the people on here as she is really good with exotic animals x

Sorry I was forgetting you have younger pigs and I didn't mean to slate the bowls, I just found my pigs much more interested when foragginf through hay for them 👍

O yea those treats, I remember the name but can probably get in bother on here slating them again but people leave honest reviews on the actual websites so don't know.
 
I feed pea flakes to my boar, but my sow doesn't like them. Only ever fed him about 4.

Don't worry I didn't take it personally it is just a matter of what works best for each ower and pig. Yeah, the reviews were good, but I am just unsure about how healthy they actually are. They may like them, but they may not be good for them if that makes sense? I would rather give them treats that are somewhat healthy and have less sugar in them. I might try the pea flakes and see how they get on

What can I do if none of them will eat them?

do you mean your piggies won’t pea flakes at all?
If so, then that doesn’t matter at all. Pea flakes are considered as a treat, it’s not important at all and should not be part of their main diet in any event. I don’t feed them at all.
The only thing your piggies need is hay in unlimited amounts, a small amount of veg per day and one tablespoon of pellets
