Which is best for pigs, pellets or muesli?

Mine seem to get bored of their food so I try different types - I got Wagg Optimum and when I opened it it was like bran buds. Jeremy loves it by Tiger doesn't, I have had to get some muesli for him.
 
i persoanlly prefer to give them epllets, mine are on science selective and nobody has turned their nose up at it, they were on gerty muesli before that which they like but only ate the bits they wanted to, so pellets are better if your select certain bits, and they dont contain any colours in them either.
 
btw i sometimes as a treat buy a bag of gerty and mix some into their food as everybody likes it, they dont get it often but as a little treat i give them some nice to watch them dig down through the pellets to find their 'favourite' bit lol
 
Thanks Spudnik, I did notice there is a lot less wastage as far as Jeremy is concerned. I don't want Tiger to go hungry though, and he is not really eating the pellets so I have given him some muesli. No doubt he will pick out his favourite bits and chuck the rest all over the floor!

I will try what you suggest and mix a bit of the muesli in with the pellets.

Honeslty, with the piggies and the rabbits we have 3 or 4 different diets going on!

I do the same thing, usually on a Saturday, but only a small amount mixed in, they do love this as a treat.
