Veggies

[kessy77]

Hi. New piggy owner (well my sons really but....I'm in love too ).
Was advised to give them cabbage as that's what they're used to along with hay and nuggets, but I forgot to ask how much veggies? A couple of leaves each?
Is their a printable guide somewhere we can use, if visual that would be great as my sons autistic so we use a lot of visuals at home (if not I can try make one).
Thanks.

The above link has lots of useful information.
If you look at the thread "long term balanced.... diet " , it gives advice on daily veggies and has a picture of recommended portion size

Safe daily veggies are lettuce, coriander, bell pepper and cucumber. Anything else is in moderation and rotation.
Cabbage and other cruciferous veggies can be given but not often. Too much cabbage can cause bloat.

Make sure you only give one tablespoon of nuggets per pig per day.

In regards to the lettuce, don't use iceberg. Mine LOVE romaine
