Hi all, ok so I have read and read and read and now I am in a rut!
I read all the lists of the veg and fruit that's safe and good to feed, I have read the nutritional values, calcium, vitamin C etc and now to be honest I am stuck feeding a tiny amount of apple, carrot, celery leafs, coriander (cilantro), parsley and mint, tomatoe, sweet bell peppers and orange cut up tiny.
So the problem is I am terrified of feeding anything else after reading about bloating and all sorts of problems if they get too much, I don't know how much is too much of anything and I have ended up feeding the SAME fresh food everyday! I can't get certain fresh things here because the veg and fruit sell by season like for example there's no cob corn right now and as I understand frozen and defrost to eat is not allowed.
I really need some experienced piggy owner advice here, can everyone give me some examples of what you all feed (on the fresh food side) and how much of what? I'm so scared to feed the wrong thing or the wrong amount so I stayed safe but now I am really limited and it's not fair on them that they can't have variety due to me trying to stay safe! I can't keep track on the once a week, twice a week thing with all the different fruit and veg so I think I need to write out a list and tick them off or something!
SOS! :guilty:
