Coconut Oil Treats for Mini Pigs
Coconut oil is a healthy and delicious supplement for mini pigs. Sometimes referred to as “piggy crack”, coconut oil can be cooled into yummy bite-sized treats! These treats can be pure coconut oil or combined with other powerhouse foods to multiply the benefits to your mini pig’s health.
Coconut oil is convenient for making treats for your mini pig because it is liquid above room temperature and solid at or below room temperature. This means you can warm up the coconut oil to turn it liquid, pour it into silicone molds or ice cube trays, refrigerate or freeze to make bite sized treats!
