Pellets Not eating pellets, try this.....

My pigs are similar! They love their pellets but everytime I put pellets in a food bowl, it becomes their life's mission to tip the bowl over and peck at the ground like chickens. I think I will be switching to a small plate soon instead of a bowl.

My piggies spread everything into a mess if I gave them a plate, so I just got Beco Bowls, which I'm going to try once their KMS pellets arrive Friday. They kind of have a more rounded design so it's a little easier to access, and if you get them on the Guinea Pig Market you can even get ones that are almost flat but still have a little lip to minimize mess. Right now I have a living world bowl, but it is hard to clean because it's got a weird design and so with the new pellets we'll change it up and see how it goes.

I think they can't dig them out from the sides of the bowl. It's not like they can use their hands if they can't grasp them with their teeth. I never thought about it but it may be a little like bobbing for apples.

We had luck with (broken link removed) cat food bowl. It's pretty shallow and they can't tip it over. And there are no sharp corners inside for pellets to get stuck in. We just took off the rubber rim around the bottom because one of my pigs liked to chew pieces of it off.

I will have to try that @mamaduck71! My pigs always dump their food dish and eat it off the ground! lol
