Introducing Grass

[squeakyclean]

Hi,another quick question.As pigs are young and from pet store I'm assuming they haven't had fresh grass. They have a large hutch with run attached. how do I go about introducing grass gradually as don't want them stuck in hutch when I'm at work and don't want to upset tummies.

Just start off by hand picking some for them, maybe sprinkle a little over their veg. Then just slowly increase the amount over time so they don't get an upset stomach. Just be careful not to give much veg if they've had a lot of grass

When should I let them out in their run?
