Will they eat parsley, lettuces, coriander etc.? I'd be mostly concerned about vitamin C levels, even with a good supply of dried food.

Sweetcorn is good for encouraging weight gain. Ideally you want at least one really nutritious food daily - peppers are excellent if the pigs take to them, or even a few sprigs of parsley - and then you can add it in the more filling foods and variety.

I've heard of bran and oats being given but I would not offer it while the pigs are not eating a good variety of fresh veg - their normal diet needs to be established first.
