Please could some kind person tell me if I can feed my pigs whole fruit like peaches and nectarines - i.e. with the stones in? Thank you in anticipation.

Yes, mine love them too. Also whole avocado. They somehow manage to eat the flesh and leave the stone and skin behind.

they'll love them  ... if you are of a sensitive disposition, don't hang around to listen to them crunching the stones!!
