Kandra and I had a discussion last night about the calcium component of wheatgrass because that is always such an important consideration with piggies! This table was REALLY interesting - comparing wheatgrass juice to spinach and broccoli with several important components analyzed ... I also...

Yes yes yes!!! On all counts! We had a new piggie client last week that was feeding a cup of pellets once a week - on the weekend - because that was easier for them to manage and remember ... and I had to explain that it could be catastrophic if they ate those pellets all at once and they...

Your morning smile! Our wonderful client Kandra is fabulous about having her piggies be our "guinea pigs" for any new products we need have "tested" in real life to see what the general consensus is on them ... :) Obviously based on this video, they are a runaway success and very much "Guinea...

FWIW - the ones we have available are .78 per lb based on a 55 lb bulk bag ($42.95). Its one of the benefits of buying direct from the small mills with no distributors or middleman in between and not buying from larger operations

Actual commercial grade molasses which I'm sure is what is being used in pet food production is actually not sweet at all The local feed mills can get barrels of molasses for large animal production facilities and if you dip a finger in to taste that stuff, its actually quite bitter. Its night...

We sell pellets that are produced by a small feed mill up in Mennonite country that has been in operation for about 60+ years now, and so far - right across the board - the acceptance has been 100% with them compared to anything else our clients piggies have had in the past ... they actually...

As many have already mentioned, hay needs to breathe - the more ventilation all around it the better! It also needs to be up off the ground to allow airflow underneath it. Even your bone dry driveway will go through hot and cold cycles through daytime/nighttime and sun and cloud and that will be...

Just sent an email to Mr Yogesh Gupta who is the CHIEF COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS at Customs House in India Will let you know what he says if it is permitted or not, and what forms I would need to fill out, what weight limitations there are per shipment, if I can send it through Canada Post or if...

Well - I'd be willing to give it a try! :) What if we try sending just a flake to start (which would be about 1/8 of a bale) to see if Indian Customs will allow it through. I will look and see what the requirements are for India (if I can find it) for "food products" and if you can also try to...

A lot will also depend on how old the hay is from the time it was cut. Hay - being an organic product - will emit gasses for a good 3-5 months after it has been cut and baled, before it is fully cured and "dried down". As a large volume hay grower, we keep all of our hay in well ventilated...

Here is something else to be aware of. Hay should NOT be stored in plastic bags - period. Ever. That dust in the bottom may well have mold spores in it, so before you go and try and encourage them to eat it or bake it into anything for them, smell it. If its moldy, it will have an acrid smell...

Well - white birch and willow are accepted "safe" branches and twigs for piggies, bunnies, etc along with pear branches. A lot of the All Natural pet stores also sell shredded birch and willow bark If you are talking about going into someone's backyard and taking some of those branches...

Are they clean bits that weren't in the cage so no chance of them being pooped on or peed on at all? I would buy some jute sacks like this one and put the bitsies into the sack and hang it up or tie it closed and then let them play with it, gnaw on the jute and pull the hay pieces out. The jute...

Very interesting comments - thank you all for your input. A walk up the aisles of the pet stores does show a lot of processed products that are bound with honey and the like. Perhaps the animals may love them but it cant be good for them even on an occassional basis! Even with our little dog, we...

Has anyone tried any of these treats with their piggies? And if so - did they just *like* them or go insane over them? Aronia berries Freeze dried banana Birch Bark Black Mallow Leaves Blue Cornflower Dried Carrot Dried Fennel Tops Chamomile Flowers Coneflower (echinachea) Dandelion Leaf...
