Help with Veggies!

[Jasperandtoffee]

Hi, please can someone advise what vegetables you can give with no restriction? There’s so much contradicting advice out there I’m not sure what is safe daily and what isn’t. I just want to know what veg I can give them without worrying if it’s too much of not!
Thanks in advance..

The four safe veg which can be given every day are lettuce, cucumber, coriander and bell pepper.
The total amount of veg per day is one cup per pig.

Others veggies can be given but should be in moderation and rotation - somewhere between 1-3 times a week depending on the veg (high calcium veggies like kale, spinach, parsley given no more than once per week. High sugar items such as Carrots and fruit don’t need to be in the diet at all but are also no more than once a week as an occasional treat).

Thank you… is little gem lettuce ok?

Any lettuce except iceberg is fine.
Also, it's safe but apparently a lot of piggies don't like lambs lettuce.
