Hi everyone!
Are the pets at home forages such as the dandelion mix, high in calcium? I also have the plantain and clover one. My piggies are having bladder problems at the moment but they love these! It didn't say on the pack high in calcium so I brought them, by a thread said they are?
 
Dandelion is a diaretic,and has high calcium.but its safe to give to piggies as a treat,a sprinkle a small handful over a pile of hay twice a week.just be careful if you have piggies with bladder/stone issues.
 
I've taken it off them until their bladder problems are under control.
They are on Timothy hay at the moment which I heard is low in calcium, what's about meadow hay cookies? Are they not advisable for pigs with bladder problems at the moment?
 
I just bought a bag of the dandelion stuff and he seems to love it . Smells lovely! Not sure on the meadow cookies though I wouldn't have thought so.
