Piggies Won’t Eat Pellets

[Pigmamma]

Our new piggies won’t touch their pellets. They have eaten heaps of hay and veg and drinking well but totally not interested in pellets. Any suggestions or ideas I can try? They are pets at home ones. Thanks

You could try other pellets that are more palatable, I hear the Selective grainless are quite tasty and you can get them from Pets At Home as well if you have on near you.

Pellets aren't the end of the world but if you have young pigs it'll help if they do eat them

I wouldn’t worry too much. As long as they are getting their hay and veggies, that’s what matters. Hay is the main part of the piggy diet I would try different pellets, our boys go nuts for the fruity nuggets by Country Value

Thanks that’s good to know. I’ll try a different brand for sure.

Mine like the Harringtons Pellets. They didn't think much of the P@H pellets and would leave them more often than not.

Mine also like the science selective grain free

Ours love Asda's own nuggets. They will eat others, but only pick at them.

I'll get those next time I need pellets @Tim and see if they are as popular.
