Re: Salt?

You're right- salt licks are unnecessary. Your pigs should get the salt and things they need from hay, pellets and veg- that's the only food they need. Extra "treats" such as Yoghurt Drops, Honey Chew Sticks and so on may well damage their health. Your pigs won't know to stop licking because they have had as much salt as they need, so if they like the taste might keep on licking it which wouldn't be good for them. Don't get one!
Whoops, Daft got there first.
