Depending on brand, the suggestions are 1/8 to 1/4 cup per pig per day.

Since cavies are constant foragers, splitting up veggies into two or more feedings per day is preferable to having one veggie meal a day. I've done what bpatters suggested for years and it's easy to...

Neither of those pellets are very good. They don't contain hay which should be the primary ingredient in a pellet. Looking at the ingredients lists, the first one seems a little better than the...

Pellets are the least part of the diet. The main part of the diet consists of hay, then forages, veggies and lastly, pellets. Mazuri is ok but it's not the best brand out there.

The main...

Please don't take things in a negative way. We're all here to help each other learn more about piggies. The people on the thread are helping you to have very happy and healthy pigs. If they...

Yes, the info on most of the veggies you asked about is on my charts. Use the pak choy reference for bok choy. Lettuces are all daily. There is a special note about chard.

Herbs are best fed...

The pigs breed is - Absolute cuteness!!! :)

Just to clarify for everyone, the amount in grams on my nutrition charts are not portion sizes. They are merely a reference point to say how much of X is in that many grams of the food.

Pigs should never be fed frozen veggies due to the vitamins and minerals deteriorating in them and they do not retain their crispness after freezing.

Grass hay needs to be fed from day one. You don't start with alfalfa hay and switch. Alfalfa hay is only a supplement in addition to grass hay. With pellets you can start with either a...

This isn't a very good pellet brand at all. Please consider something healthier such as KM's, Oxbow or Sweet Meadow.

They are ok for a couple times a week treat in small amounts as they are high in calcium. The flowers, stem and leaves can all be eaten.

Check out the sample menus thread - http://www.guineapigcages.com/forum/diet-nutrition/24770-sample-veggie-menus.html

There are great menu's in there.

There are some edible flowers but which ones they are escape me at the moment. You can always do a forum search.

They always need fresh foods. Never dried or frozen. I have kept husks and silks in the fridge for a week or so. If the husks feel too dry, I would wet them a little before feeding. They are a...

How old is she? Pigs under 6 months can have unlimited pellets but over 6 months should be limited. Hay is the primary diet, followed by a well rounded veggie list and pellets are the least of the...

I personally don't like the ingredients list for the Brown's stuff. Too many fruits, beet products, dried bacterias, wheat flour, a lot of fillers and corn products. Plus artificial colors and...

The only place to get KM's products is through her site.

1 large leaf refers to one whole large leaf (outside leaf) of lettuce. It's fine to have more than one cup.

I wouldn't worry too much about fruits really as they are high in sugars. They're...

Pretty much all lettuces are fine to feed except for iceburg.

Some onions are toxic while others are ok. Basically the ok ones are the green portions (or tops) of green onions, chives and leeks. I fed those to my pigs for years with no ill effects. What you...

He's rumblestrutting when he purrs and moves his body like that. He's being dominant. You brought this question up in the other thread you started.

Please keep them separate because breeding...

Puberty and reproduction age in pigs are different things. Please keep the pigs separate so you don't end up with babies.

Grass can be fed instead of hay and is better but as most people do not have access to unlimited quantities of fresh grass, hay is used instead. I would give both hay and fresh grass. They need...

Just some FYI, if you have questions, please post them in the appropriate forum sections. Thank you.
