Mine get fed twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening (aproximatly 12 hours apart) although I might start seeing about making this into 3 times a day.
As for each piggy they get this diet roughly:
Daily AM - 1 large leaf or a couple of small leaves of Romaine lettuce
PM - Same as above with Romaine Lettuce
4 Storks of Corriander (Cilantro in the USA I think)
1 baby carrot
1 baby/grape tomatoe skins (seeds removed/gutted)
Slice of green pepper
Then for variety they have these added on days:
1/4 stick of celery (cut up) -
every other day
Slice of red pepper -
every four days aprox
2 - 3 storks of Parsley
- every other day - alternates with Dill
2 - 3 storks of Dill -
every other day - alternates with Parsley
Small handful of Kale -
only when we have it in the house - once a week/every two weeks
Pinch of Spinach -
hardly ever, prehaps once every three/four weeks
Brocholli - every three days aprox
Then they get fruit once a week which is usually a inch chunk of apple or a grape (they dont get alot of sugary things at all)
They then have unlimited Excel pellets (I know you are suppose to limit them but mine are perfect weight and don't over eat at all)
Then huge amounts of unlimited basic hay from the horse field and unlimited Excel grass hay in hay racks etc (they eat this the most), and Excel Herbal hay in smaller limited amounts (contains dandelion).
As for treats I give them occasionally (twice a week aprox) a handful of Herbal Garden from the Naturals range (
Ingredients: Green oat, green wheat, parsley, balm, peppermint, nettle, dandelion, camomile.) and then Ginkgo Plus (Ingredients: Ginkgo leaves, green oat and Aaron's rod).
They did also get those Corn of the cobs the ones you can get at pet stores but Gypsey kept getting them stuck in her teeth, they would get these all the time to keep them from being bored - they wouldnt eat the corn just bite it and leave it on the floor, more like a toy. These are them:

Just a quick question, what state is corn on the cob suppose to be like when feeding as my mum brought some and it felt soft, whereas this (above) is hard. I would like to know whether to stop feeding them etc.
Any improvements will be welcome with opening arms, LY I would be interested to hear what you think of my pigs diet and what I need to change.
