Ants Ants in Pig dish

[Bedste]

I am having trouble keeping ants out of the food dish for my PBP. It is a flat pan near the ground because she is young and still gets goat milk once a day. Any suggestions on how to keep ants away safely....?

They are a very good source of protein for your pig.

I have the same problem when I feed the dog outside; I get a bigger pot (or anything similar that's not to tall) & put some water in it. Put the food in the regular feeder & place it inside the bigger container. The inner bowl (with the food) must not float & the inner bowl/container must not touch the sides of the bigger container.
Works like a charm.

As long as they arent the FIRE ANTS we have here in FL, I wouldn't see why not...
