I'm not sure really of what the others will say............but i tried them all with my two boys and they rejected them, i figured as long as they had a healthy diet of hay, pellets, water and fruit and veg i wouldn't worry :)
Have a look in the food section they have a good list of the foods best for a piggie .........this may help you :)
 
I've got a mineral block in crazy's hutch and he being nibbling it. I put them in my rabbits hutches and they eat there's (snoopys currently got a very yellow face from his though lol)
 
In my opinion they are a waste of time, the adverts tend to create a guilt complex in the owner. A case of "If you really care for your pig you will treat it to xyz products"
A healthy pig on a decent diet doesn't need them and if it does need a special diet through illness then any supplements need to be given as a measured dose rather than the hit and miss approach which comes from a supplement which is at the discretion of the pig. The other point of view if it makes YOU feel better giving the pig a treat then they will not do any harm.
 
No take them out. Providing you are giving a good balanced diet they will get all they need. Its just a gimmick.
 
No, but you can get a similar product if your pigs really like gnawing and chewing (all pigs are different so it's just a matter of preference really) It's from Naturals Boredom Breakers although I can't remember the name, I'm sure it's just called a Gnaw Block and it's just a hard, tasty treat for those that like to chew :)
 
my dad gave them to our rabbites when we had rabbits

but never given them to the piggies my piggies dont like things like that there will only put veg dry food grass and hay in the mouths
