Muesli mixes aren't suitable for pigs, so I wouldn't feed it. It's not something that they would eat in the wild so haven't really adapted to do so. Muesli mix is like junk food.

Your main focus for a piggies diet is unlimited grass hay, 1 cup of veggies and no more than 1tbsp of pellets per piggy per day.

Please have a read of our diet guides as they're packed full of useful and up to date information.
