I have two or three hogs that come into my garden nightly. At the moment I leave some Whiskas 1+ dry “chicken” flavour crunchy cat food for them. The 7kg bag is nearly gone so I am looking to buy more. With money being tight, I wondered if anyone has fed the hogs this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153542372593?epid=1504302615&hash=item23bfd6acf1:g:87QAAOSwn1FgR2qF&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4KjRmUz0Q7puS8WLH5m30s9HOn49xbeH2Bw%2BX4zxBtZo2iZVhrDWPqrTMEuWC05Y1F7PTELgJjryeddTN7MYv0UaBDjXCZHz44ln2Wj4%2FS2%2F%2BHViVKQmjmRFFkwQYAO5ZH1bp0nY2RR4HzNyIL985gkemip6L1xYIyHREQJdX3e0QzuyTy7mhT%2Ff0HzWu6q%2F4GNRycY%2FOGltUAhClbAlWva5LoweHs1mdkwm%2BH%2BL0AsReHekeiPQRp7r%2FpCPtvbTPd48beI7u7hp4lae8pmtv72M0FWPKoqFyxXSmgP9lKze%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7CoxKiDYQ?
it is half the cost, but if they don’t like it then it’s a waste. Opinions please.
ThanksI’m by no means an expert; i looked up the composition of that same brand in another ebay listing, it says:
Composition: Cereals, Meat and Animal Derivatives, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Oils and Fats, Mineral, Yeasts.
Analytical Constituents: Protein: 30%, Fat Content: 10%, Crude Fibre: 3.5%, Inorganic Matter: 8%, Moisture: 10%Seems like the main constituent would be cereals? Roughly similar to the Whiskas 1+ we too have, so i guess it would be fine?
You can try a 300 grm ‘trial dose’ to test it out with the hogs: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323487707159?epid=1504302615&hash=item4b515eb017:g:Ox4AAOSw~7dfIxr6&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8HLQTNi5oHPhCtGZaF%2Bl0kbUOEK2QrnqyrBPr4xG03iq5xgJfiIFJaB3jqCvaZQ8MAlFqquyfcEOSv3ID%2BvQ1J8aHjvsvLO8c1pf0b4%2Fo9rZST2Ql4UtxnrpAN2lGTALgFnAal3MIO9D63vnuITSrNYMuM3ec%2FfDJrlmdmhwfaCrUZ7z%2BSu5ocOrMmRQd2saByO58BIeYCG6ljZ79uskX8K6ixRhO2XK7Y2cuz2VT9E1rHVTMtprTB6m8CphnufnRUanbBP0xxDvMGq6lzPsBOsSGcXhLiCFM9%2FztrBYahJ%2FkCbkikgBx466E4iQ6SxW3Q%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMkuistYNh
I might give it a try too, to save on the whiskas.Hogs can be difficult with sudden changes in types of food and refuse to eat a new food to start with. They will normally adapt to the change eventually but often people give up before the hog does!
The important thing is to give them as good quality food as you can. There is some useful information:
