We just got a little piggie on Monday for my daughter. She has one (Nico), and even with all day attention she gives her girl, we just know it's best they have at least one piggie friend. So we got his lil one on Monday and I'm really not sure how well she was taken care of. She is scared, freezes anytime we approach their home, and is soooo different than Nico. Nico loves attention, loves to be held and cuddled. Loves being pet inside and outside her home. Eats whatever we give her and LOVES food! This little girl, Gizmo, she doesn't like veggies - or fruit?!?!
I guess it could be she is just nervous in her new home, but we have tried cilantro, green leaf, red leaf, parsley, carrot tops, celery and celery greens, carrots and kale. Today she took a tiny bit of Kale - but barely ate a small piece. We stopped hand-feeding, just wanting her to get greens in her belly but she won't even eat them if they are in her home. We also have tried fruit - pineapple, apple, blueberry and even the coveted banana that we only give Nico once in a blue moon. Nothing. She sniffs everything, but won't try to nibble them. She eats pellets and hay and drinks water, but doesn't seem interested in the veggies.
so my question is - how long is this ok for? At what point does she HAVE to start eating greens or I need to bring her in for some kind of vitamin? Do they even give vitamins to piggies?
