Hello everyone! This is just about my pigs veggies...
Right now my male piggy, Mo, is getting About half a carrot in the morning (So pretty much the size of a baby carrot) and also a medium sized lettuce leaf.
Then at night he gets about 3 thin slices of red and green capsicum (Or bell pepper to some) and a bit of cucumber.
It has been the same for ages... And I really need to change it around a bit or add more variety. Also, am I giving him enough?

Can't wait to hear your answers, thanks everybody!

Well you are suppose to give them a cup of veggies a day. I would feed more bell pepper if I were you because its high in vit C wouldn't hurt to feed a little lettuce at night too. What kind of lettuce are you feeding?
On a side note just wondering why you only have one piggy?

Alright, thank you! :) I'm feeding I think its baby cos, or just cos lettuce.

And I only have one piggy at the moment because the other one passed away over the weekend... :'(
I'm going to get another one to keep this one company though!

Aw I'm so sorry :( I hope you find Mo a new friend. The Cos lettuce is good just make sure you watch to make sure he doesn't get too much calcium (white urine spots will tell you that) I had to switch to red leaf lettuce and green leaf lettuce cause one or two of my piggies was getting too much calcium.

That's ok. :( I'm sure I will find him a nice little friend soon. :)
And I will! If I start seeing calcium spots I might switch to red or green leaf lettuce, thanks! :)
