Swedes are ok to feed mine love them, we buy big nets of them for £4 of the farms.
I find that if the piggies have had the food when young they like it. ones that haven't had something whilst with there mother ther'e not so keen on it when older. I only started feeding Banana skins a few years ago and the oldies wouldn't eat them at first, but the babies all love them because they had them since birth.

Mine hate swede!

 

[kelspiggies]

i only tried mine on swede a few weeks ago,but they seem ok with it,not the first veggie to go but they do eat it.

Mine hate swede too! Mine are sooo fussy! They end up eatting only a small variety of veg as they tend not to eat anything different that I buy them for a change.
