You can start introducing a variety of veggies now. We give each of our piggies a quarter of a bell pepper twice a day, along with their other veggies. They have lots of vitamin C and can be fed daily.
If he doesn't eat a new food at first - keep offering it. Sometimes piggies won't try new foods right away. It may take a while before they'll start eating it.
Here is a link to Ly's Nutrition Chart. Print off a copy to use as a reference for what to feed, and how often. I use it everyday...I'd be lost without it!

An excellent source for hay and pellets is Kleenmama's. Here is the link for her site:
