Re: coconut shell

The answer is no. The reason is that coconut is too high in fats and it's on the do not feed list. I know you are thinking they won't eat it but pigs are curious creatures. They would probably try to eat it if it's in their cage.

Question Re: coconut shell

If you take out the coconut flesh which I had planned on doing.
Just using the shell would that be ok?

Re: another coconut shell question

Well when I got my first hamster I hung half a coconut shell from the room, put a bit of bedding in it and he LOVED it! He would sleep in it all day on his back, then get up eat drink get in his wheel for about 3 hours then get off and go back to sleep! I don't know about piggies though.

Re: coconut shell

Again, no part of the coconut is ok for piggies. Save it for your hammie.

Re: coconut shell

OK --- For the record I thought you were thinking I was going to put the shell in it with the meat of the coconut. I will not ask again.
