Re: withholding all food until...

Keep in mind that there are lots of other foods high in vitamin C. Many of them aren't every day foods, but even lettuce contains some vitamin C, so you don't need to panic. My piggy doesn't care for peppers either, but have you tried tomatoes? Oranges? Broccoli?

I've seen quite a few other posts from owners who couldn't get their pigs to eat bell peppers, so I'm not too concerned. I just make sure to feed a variety, and I throw in a chunk of bell pepper whenever I happen to be cutting one up for the humans. Sometimes he nibbles it, sometimes he throws it on the ground and tramples on it. He's been thriving since I put him on the HAFF diet, so he can't be missing much.
