How many times have you offered bell peppers?

I had to offer them a lot before my piggies finally started to eat them. Someone on here said to rub the peppers on the lettuce to get them use to the taste of them. Try to keep offering the peppers, and give then a slice of orange twice a week until they begin to eat the peppers, that way they will be getting some vitamin C.

You can use the human vitamin C tablets from the pharmacy, but you have to make sure you get the ones WITHOUT sugar. And, I would crush them up and sprinkle it on their food! I would do this as a last resort! I would keep trying the veggies though!
