Fenugreek?

Fenugreek Crunchies - The Pet Extraordinarium

Are these okay for pigs? Like, one every other day? The ingredients listed are corn, fenugreek seed - that's it. The seeds are completely ground up, nothing small to get stuck in teeth etc.

They also smell really nice.

Re: Fenugreek?

If the only ingredients are fenugreek seed and corn then in my opinion, I'd say don't feed them as corn isn't good for cavies.

Re: Fenugreek?

Ah, okay. I'll stick to sniffing the bag. The only reason that I bought them is that I'm applying human desire to pigs -- they might like a treat that isn't just more veggies. But then, they love veggies...

I want to be a guinea pig in a C&C cage. Go away work...

Thanks Ly.

Re: Fenugreek?

The best treats are veggies and occasional fruits. Maybe try a veggie or fruit they've never had before as a new treat.

The majority of processed treats aren't good for pigs at all. They are herbivores so they like their veggies/fruits/hay and forages.

Re: Fenugreek?

I think with treats my girls just really like the attention. I shake their old treat bag at them, but then they get a grape. Its tasty, they get a pet, the same general happiness happens I think. Only, I get to eat some too, so it's even better heh. I've even hand fed them pellets and they get happy.
