Re: Piggy Eater!!!!

If you go slowly and introduce small amounts of new veggies daily and maybe even nibble some in front of him, I bet in time he would learn how to eat new foods. Last year I had a 1+ year old boar that was an owner dump. He'd rarely ever had veggies his entire life. Within 2-3 weeks, I had him eating about 15 different types of veggies/fruits.

I would get a plain vitamin C chewable tablet with no sugar or less than 2 grams of sugar from a health food store and start giving him 50 mg per day to make sure he's getting enough. Lettuce and an occasional carrot is not going to provide enough C. If he doesn't eat many pellets, that's not providing enough C either.
