Re: Is this good enough?

May I just say how refreshing it is to see a newbie figuring this stuff out before getting pigs, and taking suggestions as a helpful thing and not an offensive thing? It's really nice!

I also wanted to add you may find you have to make some modifications based on what the pigs you have like. It's worth trying things multiple times, because just like little kids they are apt to turn their noses up at the unfamiliar for some time, and then all of a sudden they discover they love whatever it is. Still, though, there may be some things they just won't eat no matter how often you offer it. I think mine would curse if they knew how any time I give them zucchini or strawberries! Not even a nibble. Yet some pigs love 'em. And tomatoes, with my guys, it seems to depend on the mood they're in. What is the funniest to me, though, is all I have to do is get ONE of them to try something, and then the other wants to, and will even steal it right out of his mouth to taste it.
