Re: Just a couple of questions.

Pellets should be plain with no dried or coloured bits. Good brands are Oxbow and Kleenmama's. If she is a young pig, she should be fed alfalfa based pellets as they are higher in calcium, over 6 months she should be on a timothy hay based pellet. She should be fed only 1/4 cup of pellets per day.
Your pig should also have unlimited grass hay (Timothy is a common type of grass hay). If she is under 6 months, she can have a legume hay like alfalfa mixed into her grass hay.
She should also be being fed a cup of fresh veggies per day. Fruits can also be fed, but sparingly (only once or twice a week at most). There are stickies in the diet and nutrition forums to learn more about her diet.
