I don't think salt wheel and mineral is harmful to them.

For the salt, that depends on each pigs. I read once that her pig keeps licking her so she gave them salt wheel but they never touched it. I'm not sure if pigs want them.

As for the mineral, that's ok too since it helps them trim their teeth and maybe even their nails.

It is not a pellet. And it has nothing to do with GP pellet

When I say Mineral, it is something they chew to trim their teeth.

How do the mineral wheels help keep their teeth down? I thought that they only licked the wheel, not bit it.
