Things like sweet peppers cliantro and romane / red or green leaf lettuce are pretty neutral for them, it is hard to overdue it. Just make sure that you don't leave left overs that they don't eat in the cage.
Other veggies, like carrots or parsley should be limited because they may cause problems down the road, again I doubt they would give the runs though.
Iceburg lettuce is absolutely no good in any amount, it can make your pig sick, the pig is better off with no veggies then fed this type of lettuce, so don't use it even in a pinch. Other then that, you should be good to go. |
No, I think too much of any veggies would/could definitely give them diarrhea, otherwise why did I read on here if they DO have diarrhea to cut down on the greens for a day? Too much of anything is never good. But I think I'm giving them good amounts. I don't give them carrots that often, lately I've only been putting 2 carrots in there a day to split between the 3 of them. They do love the carrots though! That's usually the first thing they go for.
I keep seeing Arugala (might be spelling that wrong) at the store and think about picking it up but don't really know what it is or if it's good. It's just another lettuce right? Last time I was at the store they didn't have any of the baby romaine leaves and only the Arugala leaves... can someone tell me if this is good, so next time I will pick this up instead for variety.
