Re: My veggie menu...

Do you have to drastically change your piggies diet every meal, or every day?

Can you give the same meal plan for 3-4 days and then change it?

An example of what I feed per piggie each day is...

[FONT=Times New Roman]1/8 cup pellets plus...[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]AM[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 large (or 4 small) leaves of romaine Lettuce[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 leaves of radicchio[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]4 sprigs of cilantro[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 cherry tomato[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 small floret of broccoli[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 slice bell pepper (1/8 pepper) Yellow, green, or red[/FONT]

[FONT=Times New Roman]PM[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 large (or 4 small) leaves of red leaf lettuce[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]2 large (or 4 small) leaves of romaine Lettuce[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]4 sprigs of cilantro[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 baby carrot[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 (½ in.) slice cucumbers[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman]1 slice bell pepper (1/8 pepper) Yellow, green, or red[/FONT]


I would serve that menu plan for about 3-4 days and then I would switch the cucumber for zucchini, the broccoli for parsley, and maybe switch one of the red lettuces for curly endive. Then I would serve that meal for 3-4 days and make a few more changes.

Is it okay to feed the same 8 or 9 veggies each day for 3-4 days (to use up the veggies and cut down on waste) before rotating in new veggies?
