Ok i know i will prob. get some people that disagree with me...but i'm fine with that.
But i refuse to feed my piggies package baby carrots, the reason why is because they are "washed in bleach".
Ok have you ever noticed that after awhile the baby carrots get a white texture color to them and they will also start to get a little slimy. Well that is because the chemicals they use to keep them bright in color and to try to keep them looking fresh while in package. And i don't see how that is healthy for human, let alone our piggies.
Now i'm NOT saying that all carrot companies do this, but 90% of the baby carrots i have bought turned white & slimy. I did a test with my girls, before i found out why my baby carrots where turning nasty. I got a few baby carrots and a few fresh whole carrots, i peeled the whole carrots and placed the carrots in my piggies cage...and to my surprised my girls took off with the whole fresh carrots and eat every bit of them. They pretty much turned up their noses to the baby ones...so that right there told me something is up with the baby carrots. So i started doing my research on how they process baby carrots...and it took me awhile, cause companies do not want people knowing how they do their products.
I know many people will say that their piggies LOVE the baby carrots...but have they ever had fresh whole carrots?? Honestly just take a hard look at baby carrots. I can't see the chemicals they use to preserve freshness being healthy for our piggies.
Now if you grow your own baby carrots...kuddo to you.!!! Atleast u know what goes onto your veggies. During the summer i grow my own, but when i can't i will buy whole fresh carrots. And to back up my research i have had other people do the same research and to see if they have found out the same info on baby carrots as i did. Well lets just say, these people don't eat baby carrots anymore.
I don't mean to make anyone mad about my post...i'm just tryin to help get some info out there.
