Yes, the hog chow falls through 1/2 or probably even 1/4 mesh. I just throw it in my cages. When it's $15 a bag, you can afford to waste some, lol. I just bought a bag of lab block from the feed store for $26.50 .... and that hurts after spending $15 on hog chow! lol
I know it'll get wasted less, and honestly I bought it because I have a lot of animals to feed, and I have lab bins for my mice, so it's really handy to just fill the hoppers once a week to every other week.
