What type of hay to feed my Piggy's? 

I have just bought some. I hope they like it!I feed Burgess Excel with dandelion and marigold, would definitely recommend my piggies love it
... the only downside is finding somewhere to store the large bag when it arrives![]()
Only problem is, its an absolute rip off. Burgess have gone right down in my booksI feed Burgess Excel with dandelion and marigold, would definitely recommend my piggies love it

Me tooI feed both Timothy and meadow from b&m bargains. I have no complaints
Right thats it when all our hay is gone I'm buying thisI’m same as @dannif_piggies ... my girls looooove the Timothy hay bought direct from Timothyhay.co.uk. My husband actually came in asked me what the heck was in the hay as they were going mental for it. It’s smells lovely. I contacted them and asked for a sample before plunging for the 9kg bag
Def recommend .. in meantime Email them for a wee taster sampleRight thats it when all our hay is gone I'm buying this

Mine used to get this but one time I couldn't find any anywhere! Went to three stores in the area, Ive only seen it in store once since this incident tooI feed both Timothy and meadow from b&m bargains. I have no complaints
B n m are unreliable with the timothy but not the meadow. In my local one anyway. If you cant find a b n m with stock. Go to the range, they sell one thats about the same. 2.99 a bagMine used to get this but one time I couldn't find any anywhere! Went to three stores in the area, Ive only seen it in store once since this incident tooCan't have unrealisable sources

My pigs adore it! Even the newbies Lois and Laine go crazy for it! I used to also find that Honey and Willow would get bored of certain hay after a while, but this gets popcorning reactions every morning from everyone! Amazing customer service and delivery too... unless I come to find a pig that doesn't like this hay I can't see myself buying anything different tbh!Right thats it when all our hay is gone I'm buying this
Free delivery is fab, super quick too. Comes from just up the road from me in Stirling!My pigs adore it! Even the newbies Lois and Laine go crazy for it!

It's good that you have got a vet appointment if you have any concerns about a piggies health, however I would not be too concerned about loss of appetite towards pellets, they are a measly part of a pigs diet and some people choose to not feed them at all... obviously you know your pig best and if this is completely out the blue there may be an underlying issue. White deposits in urine are a sign of too much calcium in their diet, this could even come from the water depending on if you have hard water in your area or not. The most important thing you can do is weigh your pigs regularly (weekly) to gather an understanding of each pigs healthy weight, and then if there is ever significant gain or loss within a week period, this is something to be concerned about. But as said previously, any concern is sometimes best put to rest by seeking veterinary adviceI have an issue, I will be making a vet appointment. My youngest boy piggy nibbles has stopped eating his pellets! - he eats all the veg I give him though.
I recently had a my 6 year old piggy pass after surgery due to bladder stones. I have felt nibbles bladder I think and it feels similar to the piggy that had bladder stones. - I have researched about it. And have noticed whitish wee/discharge on his blankets. Which may mean bladder stones. '/
I had a slight problem with mine but this wasn't the companies fault it was the delivery depot near me (basically it arrive st the depot after all the delivery drivers left so I waited in all day for it to then be told it was coming the following day) but as I said this wasn't the companies fault... haven't heard this from anyone else and will still be ordering more on pay day!Free delivery is fab, super quick too.

White powder left behind can be normal if its only dusty and not clumpy or gritty. Try a different brand of nuggets, but introduce with a mix of old and new. Is he eating hay as normal?I have an issue, I will be making a vet appointment. My youngest boy piggy nibbles has stopped eating his pellets! - he eats all the veg I give him though.
