Watermelon ?
I gave the pigs some watermelon as a treat tonight. I picked out all of the seeds before I gave it to them because I wasn't sure if the seeds were ok - are they?
Instead of picking out the seeds. I cut them about a half inch to an inch of watermelon with the rind. Usually there are no seed in that part closest to the rind and they love the rind. Plus my husband eats the rest of the watermelon. He laughs and asks if I bought the watermelon for him or for the pigs. I'll never tell!

If you're trying watermelon for the first time, just give them a little bit. Watermelon gives my Chip diarrhea. I suppose it's possible I didn't wash the outside well enough but I don't want to risk giving it to her again. She did like the watermelon though.
Mine LOVE it mostly the rind. Make sure you wash tehouter portion well to get off any residues before you give it to them.
Thanks everyone. That's good to know. I already threw away the rind, but I know for next time. My kids love watermelon too!
Hee, this is funny. I came here today for the sole purpose of looking for information about giving my pigs watermellon. I wanted to make sure it was okay to give them the rind. And here I find all sorts of people talking about it! This will be my boys first time with it...can't wait to see if they like it.
