Hi all we brought 2 bags of pig food i think its weaner pellets for some piglets but seller let us down and we have now decided to wait for a bit, the B***dy rats have started damaging bags so anyone who wants them can have them for 10 pound as paid over 9 pound each.somerset

Hi Zarzar, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I think you will find that there will be no takers for the food, especially if the Rats have been at it, I for one would not risk giving it to my pigs, sorry, but in my opinion best to just dispose of it and take the hit on the cost.

I agree.  Rats are not toilet trained and carry toxoplasmosis, amongst other very nasty things.
