It's probably safe but it's not good for them. It is stuck together with molasses. There are much better things to provide for them to hide in/chew on.

I would take it out if they chew too much on it. Shavings & sugary molasses is not a good daily diet for pigs.

I bought one before I knew any better. I don't keep it in the cage (so I can monitor it better), but I do let them run through it and nibble on it a bit during floor time.

I bought one befor and all my pig would eat was the hay she only nibbled on the other part. But after a while she got tired of it and stopped chewing it. So then I just threw it away because she never touched it again after the hay was gone.
