Hello. I got out the dustpan after floortime to see someone ate it. Do you think whichever pig who ate it will be okay. Wasn’t very much, but stil255D82FB-64DE-4B27-9CAD-D2149EA82449.webp
 
Should be absolutely fine.
My Dexter has done the same thing to my dustpan! He’s obsessed with it - as soon as he sees I’ve got it out he comes for it!
 
Hi

As it is a soft rubber, it shouldn't pose a major issue.

Whenever a piggy is eating something they shouldn't (and they are rather good at that), just keep a close eye on them for the nex 24 hours and see a vet asap if they are suddenly not right.
 
The rubber strip on the dustpan is irresistible to my piggies, too.

I agree - just keep an eye on them but I’m sure all will be well.
 
I'm not planning on trying it but that rubber must taste really good. Nugget chewed my old dust pan and it wouldn't collect the dust up anymore so I bought a new one. Stupidly put it down in the cage when cleaning him out yesterday and turned my back for a couple of seconds - he's done it again!
He's been fine both times @thomasmuffinsRgood
