Re: My pig will not eat veggies!!

My piggie was like that when I first got her. He's just not used to eating it because he's a baby, and doesn't understand. First try something that almost all pigs like(instead of the more difficult things) like parsely or lettuce. First try hand feeding. You may have to gently push it into his mouth to even get him to try it. If he doesn't eat the lettuce/parsely by hand after a couple of tries, leave it in his pellets or hay and see if he will eat it on his own. I know it's difficult at first, but eventually he will figure it out. Don't keep offering different things until he really starts to eat one thing first. Patience is key!

You may have to get some vitamin C supplements(not the kind that can be put in their water) untill he eats veggies.
