I should have spoken more generally. I give our piggies a piece of iceburg lettuce about the size of my thumb maybe once a week as a small part of a balanced diet of other greens and veggies. Please do not hear me say that iceburg lettuce should have anything more than a very small part in a piggie's diet.
That is a very nice chart you pointed out, pigsforlife and Jenni. Very thorough. One thing is has is serving size! Hooray! It's so nice to see charts with serving sizes. When planning a piggies diet serving size is very important. Apples, for example. A serving of 10.39g/1-2 times per week approximately equals a serving of 3-4g/3-5 times per week. We keep lots of veggies and fruit in the house, so I just prefer to give our piggies a lot of variety daily with smaller amounts of each veggie than to give a full serving at one time. |
