Earwigs

[Bobby&Frankie]

Just wondering if they pose any risk to my piggies?
I put them out yesterday into their coop, fed them this morning and there was one crawling around by their door. The coop was thoroughly disinfected etc. yesterday so it not likely to be a hygiene issue.
Just wondering whether i need to be extra cautious with them or it doesn't matter whether i see the odd few or not
Thanks

Earwigs scare me! They look so weird! Of course, I don't kill them. I think any bug can be a threat to piggies. When there is one kind of bug, there is another one that will hunt it. If there is a colony of earwigs, I wouldn't put my babies near them. If a lone earwig comes in your yard, somehow get it into a different yard, just because I think they are creepy. I don't know if they are dangerous to piggies.

I saw 2 yesterday (mainly in the grass area) and one in the coop today. There doesn't seem to be any more as the grass has been mostly eaten by them haha so much of it's mud
