I don't have him yet--I'm going to get him today. He is currently eating Pedigree Lab Diet pellets (never heard of it, but current owner says its what she feeds her "show" pigs).

She said his bedding is "shredded recycle pastel colored paper." She also says she's tried corncob, pine, and newspaper (not the best choices...). I keep my boys on aspen.... wonder if that would make a difference? Or maybe carefresh? Hmm..... what do you think?

She doesn't feed them veggies or even *gasp!* hay! Are you starting to see why I'm rescuing him...? When he's with me, he'll be getting timothy hay (he's a year and a half old, so no alfalfa), romaine lettuce, green/red peppers, cilantro, grape tomatoes, cucumber, corn husks/silk, the occasional apple slice or grape, parsley as a treat.... any suggestions/modifications? This is what my boys get, but I want to make sure they get the best also--so any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks :)
