I have no idea what oxalie is. Celery has 190 according to the nutrition chart. I already give Mooshy everything that's ok for every day and am wondering if it's really not advised to feel this every day, like less than 1/2 a stalk.

Sometimes kidney/bladder stones are composed of calcium oxalate, and are formed from oxalic acid in the body. Foods high in oxalic acid should be limited.

And celery is also high in calcium. I wouldn't give more than an inch-long chunk, and if your pigs have any sludge/stone problems, I wouldn't give it at all.

Thanks. I guess that's out. Going the endive route instead as a nightly treat.
