What are your piggies' favorite fruit/veggies? It'd be interesting to see what's a favorite among pigs. lol Mine seem to enjoy everything good for them. (if it's food, it's Furrybottom's favorite.)

Obviously hay, but any colored pepper (they go for those first), any type of lettuce, anything on a stem (cilantro, parsley, dandelion greens, etc).

Oddly enough, my pigs seem to go for lettuce before anything else! They will eat any color of bell pepper but prefer green. Cilantro and parsley are favorite treats, and they like green beans occasionally. They devour collard and mustard greens, but unfortunately they can't have it often due to it being high in things they shouldn't have much of. It's fun to watch them drag pieces of melon around the cage to keep it away from each other. They will eat most things eventually if I just leave it in their bowl, but they dislike tomatoes, zucchini, and carrots. Elli even runs away from carrots!

Cilantro, it's Ferb's piggie crack. I've finally gotten him to like carrots, but he only likes the slivered ones.

Tom loves the cilantro! Bob is more of a pepper guy. Oddly, they don't seem to take to carrots anymore. They used to love them. Now they just kind of shred them and leave them on the floor of their cage. Maybe they're trying to make a piggy cole slaw.

@maddy harper - In North America (well, my part of Canada at least) we often call rocket "arugula" and coriander "cilantro". I'm not trying to correct you or anything just maybe clear up a few things as I know the names of vegetables across countries, even ones that are supposed to speak the same language, can be quite tricky :)!

they also love a dryed corn cob now and again.
i don't give them the corn that often as its fatty for them.
