Blue Oxbow pellet

[Char-x]

I just went upstairs since coming home to check on my pigs since they have had some odd poops lately (one or two of the girls) i was looking at the same girls food bowel and saw a blue Oxbow Pellet??!!

I took some pictures but it doesn't show how blue it is, this is bright blue stuff in it (like no powder over the top of anything) but like within the mix and hard...

It's a bit worrying since the pigs although had soft poops (fine shape just easier to squash) the day before I got the Oxbow their poops got worse the day they were eating the Oxbow and Excel mix no problem and have improved slightly since they have begun leaving the Oxbow - literally won't eat it - Tallulah had her head stuck into her bowel to get the last Excel biscuit at the bottom.

Anyone know what this is? It's probabaly fine but it has concerned me

I'd contact Oxbow. They've always been co-operative when I have dealt with them. If there is a problem with the pellets, they need to know.

Yeah I might do, no wonder the pigs didn't like it =S

I;m not sure if the links are working as they aren't for Guinea Lynx so heres the image shacks links:

To me that looks like the colour of copper sulphate, which is one of the ingredients of Oxbow. But I would definitely send them the photos and ask them why it looks like that.

I know you meant bowl but this mental image had me chuckling.
