Hi,
so i have 2 pigs and had them on the wilkinsons (UK SHOP) assorted mix (with all the multicolour museli thing) they always pick out the bits they dont like and the vet told me to get all there nutirition I need to switch to a nugget food which is one solid granuel containing all the nutituion at once, so they cannot pick.
I tryed to ween them onto it by mixing a little at a time with there old museli food however they hated it, they did try it and for some reason they keep pushing it out the bowl, so today i discovered that after about 3 weeks of trying to get them to eat it ever so much i think they have been vomiting it...
At first my sister thought that they had chewed a nugget at a time up and then weed on it, but when I found it I immidentaly thought they had vomited it up,
one piggy in parituclar has been a little odd sort of coughing up looking like shes got a hairball is the best way i can expalin it...
After closer inspection i have found alot alot alot of this malled sick looking nugget mush even found a large amount in there fresh water bowl after chaning it 20 mins before hand!!!
I have took a few picutres and can upload if anyone could help me with this further.
The nugget food is Burgess excell sensetive guinea pig nuggets which is suggested by vets and what I have been told is the best food
Has anyone else had this problem or can anyone shead any light onto this, im going the vets next week anyway but would appriciate any help in the time beeing
Thanks so much x
