Hello all.
I wonder if anyone had any thoughts on what piggies like adding in to barley water to make them drink it?
My piggy Anselmo doesn't drink water. And he has bladder sludge problems so it's quite a problem. We have found a solution and he has very dilute 100% fresh orange juice and water mixed, as agreed with his vet.
We change the bottle twice a day, and at the moment it's okay. But, the warm weather is here and so I can't leave a bottle of it on his cage as it'll go off before I get home from work. And the weirdo will still drink it when it's gone off.
I had a brainwave and remembered people mentioning barley water, and how their pigs loved. Well, we tried it, and for a pig with severe arthritis he can still reverse really quickly!
Any ideas of what I can add to it, or am I cooking it wrong? I just boiled it for 20 mins like it said on the packet.
