food

[Jessica Mulkey]

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on what to do if your pig keeps flipping his dish? My older pig keeps knocking the dish over and spilling all his food out. I've tried getting a tip free dish but that doesn't seem to stop him and I'm worried hell spill the food out and then the younger pig I have won't eat anything. He likes the food that he has and eats it no problem so I do not think that's the problem but any tips?

Personally I'd get rid of the bowls altogether and simply scatter feed veg and amongst (either on the bedding or amongst big piles of hay). I dont use bowls and scatter for two reasons - it means that no piggy can food hog but it is also a great form of foraging enrichment which keeps them entertained as they spend time searching for it amongst piles of hay.

I scatter the food also for two reasons. 1 they kept peeing in it. And 2 they kept tipping it up. It’s fine to put the veggies straight into their bedding.
