Is this treat ok...
Are 'fruity minerals' ok to give hoggies? They are little fruit shaped snack and it says they are 'a healthy treat to lick and chew'. Thanks xx

Hogs aren't rodents, don't forget. They don't naturally chew, and the teeth they have are the ones they get - unlike rodent's who's teeth grow continuously and need to gnaw to keep them worn down. Same reason why hogs shouldn't have bottles (tooth-chip risk, amongst others).
So...in theory, as long as the ingredients aren't toxic to hogs, you could give them, but the hog is unlikely to use it as a chew-block (ie, the manner of which it is intended), combined with the potential for chipped/broken teeth and vet bills. Without knowing the ingredients list, I also couldn't say if they are toxic or not.
In short, not really, no.
