| Re: I need Help! Carrots, Carrots, and More Carrots!
Carrots are more of a treat veggie. There is little nutrition in them and they are high in A and oxalic acid. If you've only tried lettuce a couple times, know that sometimes it takes weeks to get them to eat new foods. I would ditch the carrot and only try lettuce and cilantro for the next week. Put 1/2 leaf of lettuce in the cage and leave it in there for 2-3 hours and then remove any uneaten portion. Try this a couple times per day. As for the cilantro, put 2-3 pieces in there and leave it for about the same amount of time.
Pigs that have never had veggies take time to get accustomed to them. It may take days or weeks before he eats new things. Just be patient and keep offering.
In the meantime, your pig may need a C supplement. Are you providing one? |
