Question ? about tomatoes

I was wondering if you have to feed them cherry tomaotes or can it be any kind as long as you cut it up into small pieces? How many and how often should they eat tomatoes?

I think (don't quote me) if you feed any tomato over the size of a grape or cherry tomato you have to take the seeds out! I read that some where, but I can't remember where I read it. Please wait for confirmation from someone else!

Re: ? about tomatoes

Tomato seeds are fine. They're soft enough to not be a choking hazard. A pig can have a cherry or grape tomato or the equivalent of any other kind each day.

Read the nutrition charts sticky thread at the top of this forum section. It contains a lot of useful information such as how often to feed what.

I give my pig cherry tomatoes in the summer because we have an overflow.

Ly&Pigs is right.

The nutrition chart that she made was very, and I mean extremely helpful.

They contain so much useful information about what veggies and food to feed and how often.
