Pelley hate :(

Piggysweeks · Apr 13, 2012

Ive had Lemmy for about a year now and he has never been fond of pellets, Hi late friend attom and his new friend Pease are the same, they seem to pick it if they get desperate other than than a bowl of pellets is normally still a bowl full come the eavening...

i have tried 2 seperate types of burgess and p@h pellets to no avail.

could we have suggestions as to which food to try next, theyre already on constant hay and 3 handfulls of veg an evening?

er science selective is another brand of pellet to try or wagg optimum also pellets the museli is ok if they eat all of it instead of picking bits out. you do get the odd pig thet will eat only hay and veg but you would have to make sure Lemmy is getting everything how are you 2 holding up after Attom ?

Ill give them a go on the muesli i think,
Lemmy is ok I'm still shaken about the situation, i attempted to bond Lemmy and Pease but pease was harrasing him so i decided to wait till Lemmy has mourned Attom for a few days and give him some TLC for a bit

best of luck with it Lemmy will be quiet for a while gizmo was and then one day they just move on

Try Wagg Optimum, mine went straight onto it & have never looked back

I think it is now sold under the name "Harringtons" in Asda.

My boys don't like Excel (but kinda have to eat it since I bought it) and HATE P@H own brand nuggets. I asked for a sample of Science Selective pellets and they LOVED that (will even try and beg for more once it's all gone), so once this bag is gone, I'll get that.

Also you could try Wagg/Harringtons Optimum...?

I've only ever had one pig not like science selective.
if they like musli type mixes wagg crunch is good, no additives I believe, i have one pair on this and another pair on bugess

Lol fussy piggies! rolleyes Leave it in with them, just give plenty of hay & the veg as normal. You could mix some pellets with some of your old stuff so they gradually get used to it & don't cold turkey all at once
