Help!! My piggies are starving despite having full feeders, what's wrong??

Exactly what the title says!  My piggies are starving and I'm not about to hand-feed every one of them.  Why isn't the food that's disappearing from the feeders enough so that I can nibble them?  What's wrong??

  • what error message did you get?

    Did it say "nibbled out"?  If so, it's not that they are hungry.  Just feed them 1 meat each and you can nibble again.

    If they are hungry, they die and leave little piles of meat.  Is this what is happening?

  • I had 20 I think and now I only have 16, and they say "Denied friend - all nibbled out" -- but they have full feeders & they've been eating from them, that's what I mean ~ I shouldn't *have* to hand-feed them, this has never happened before with RHK & feeders in my yard.  :c

  • I know this sounds daft but have they gone carnivore? Maybe they will only eat meat now? Try feeding all of them 10 grain each by hand, then see if they get 'reminded' of the grain feeders.

  • Miso George, 

    Your piggies are not hungry, they are eating from the feeders.  If they were not eating, they would be dead and you'd have little piles of meat in your yard.  

    Try feeding each one just 1 meat.  That should make them feel loved again and start letting you nibble them.

  • Have you tried petting them? Maybe they just need a little love.

  • I tried all that last night & nothing helped.  Today though it seems the bug is rectified as I went in and nibbled to my heart's content.  ^-^

    Thanks for the responses everyone!
