Hi Sarah
I'm not sure what the reasoning is behind not giving rolled oats to piggies, but I can add please DO NOT give brand to your piggies, in any form.

I lost a most beloved piggy last year to teething problems, he ended up not being able to eat, needing his teeth trimmed weekly, being syringe fed for 7 months and with arthritis in the back molars - partly due to eating bran, which apparently stops the piggy's bodies from absorbing calcium as a dental vet told me.   The piggies loved the bran, but there's no way bran comes within a mile of my dear ones now.

I'd be interested to find out why not rolled oats, but I don't feed my piggies that anyway - I won't risk it.
Cheers
Julie & her boys
