Meadows Menu Pellets

[Gina.Jenny]

Wondering if anyone has tried these for their buns? With Podge n co having mainly replaced market veg with forage, I though these might be a nice if pricy treat, and they might be good for Podge’s tum?

I haven’t tried those, but they remind me of these, that I have tried: grainfree food

They were very popular with the buns. They’re on my order-list for next time I order for the buns. I’ve used them as treats. 

Rosewood has this:

Meadow grasses and herbs 70.5% (including timothy grass, foxtail grass, oatgrass, orchard grass, downy alpine oatgrass, smooth meadow grass, red clover, sweet vernal grass, velvet grass, golden oatgrass, common vetch, black medic, dandelion, ribwort, cowslip, marguerite, daisy, great burnet-saxifrage, hedge bedstraw, parsnip, sorrel, germander speedwell, common mouse-ear, perennial ryegrass, soft brome, tufted vetch, bush vetch, three-toothed orchid, wild beaked parsley), parsley 5.6%, carrot cubes 5.1%, pea flakes 4.1%, broad bean flakes 3%, parsnip cubes 2.4%, linseed 2.4%, black cumin 1%, fennel seed 0.8%, nettle leaves 0.7%, melissa 0.6%, rape seed oil 0.6%, dandelion 0.6%, rosemary 0.5%, yucca 0.5%, apple 0.4%, peppermint 0.4%, chamomile blossoms 0.3%, lovage 0.3%, beetroot 0.2%.

JR Farm has this:

They seem be “same principle”-food. Attractive because it’s mostly grasses and no grain.

Well a 2 kg bag has just arrived, Podge has sniffed them three times and declined to eat them three times, Gina and Jenny ate a few each, then lost interest. Pippi ate all the small portion I popped in for him and Jenny to try, but Pippi generally eats anything he’s offered, its food, right? Piggies are both still enjoying their afternoon siestas, so will try them later on, but both are fussy when it comes to pellets, so wont hold my breath.

They might still come around. They could be spoilt now with fresh grass and dandelions etc, but come winter they’ll be less picky if they’re anything like mine.

That’s true, just thought they’d be good for Podge’s tum now!

Pippi says they are good for his tum too, and given he was here first, they were clearly bought for him anyway
