Our boys Cookie and Dougie love celery, the girls aren't too sure though.
 
Yes! My pigs love celery! Though remember to cut it into small pieces as it is very stringy so they can choke!
 
I haven't tried mango but it's a bit sugary for them so don't think I will
 
mine love celery and get it daily, but only the herd like cellerac which I get occasionally. I dont give mine fruit very often but they do like melon, any type

Mine love celery, cut it up in little pieces as it's stringy and they can choke. Never tried mango and I haven't heard of anyone actually trying it. Mine love melon too, skin and all! Take the seeds out though. I think I've read somewhere that melon seeds are bad but i might be wrong! All kinds but mine have Honeydew as that's the melon that I like too! :))
 
Ooo i never thought of melon.
Nice and refreshing on the 'hot'rolleyes days.
Mine all like celery. They dont get it very often, so its a big treat when they do. Another nice thing you could try is apple. I know you shouldnt feed it all the time though as its high in sugar.
 
All mine love celery especially the leaves :)) I take most of the stringy bits off then slice it small for them.

As for mango, my aby pig Ziggy loves it that's her favourite fruit; she goes nuts when I share mine with her rolleyes

If there is something she really doesn't like, she will just pick it up & her lips will curl then she'll drop it :))
 
All of ours like celery, although some more than others. They seem to particularly favour the leaves so don't throw them away if your celery comes with any on. :))
 
Mine both like celery, although Machu likes it more. As everyone says, best to cut it up small for them.

I suppose melon is rather like cucumber -- ok for them, but maybe not a huge amount of nutritional value as a lot of it is mainly water. Probably lovely on a hot day though.
 
Tang

Okay, my vets tech had told me when we took them in that you can give them Tang. It's high in vitamin C. :)) She said her college professor gave it to theirs.:{ I bought some but have not given it to the boys. mallethead I think my kids drank it all.rolleyes
 
Celery is fine but I choose to cut it in to small pieces just to be cautious as it's very stringy. My girls quite like it and it's good in the hot weather as it's watery :)

Is that the orange drink you make up?
I'd not give anything like that.... i'd be very wary to be honest.

With celery i too 'de string' it and cut into small pieces, and only the dark green leaves......also not everyday as odettemayers said :)

Hahaha I only buy Celery for Rodney too cos I hate it! In fact my fridge is FULL of stuff I hate, yet makes me look very healthy inbreeding

He likes to have it in the evening for dinner, he has certain things he likes in the morning and certain things he likes for dinner. He's very particular! Haha
 
Great! grrrrSo now I learn you are supposed to feed them more than once a day. mallethead We always have pellets and Timothy hat available and feed them a lot in the morning. drool I had no idea they were supposed to be fed like that more than once. :{ They are pretty chubby so I doubt they are hurting for food.:aLJFBQ00151070111C:
 
Before I learned about the various kinds of veggies you could give piggies, I mainly gave Gilbert celery. So once I introduced new foods, he wouldn't go back to the celery!mallethead But now that I don't give him celery often, he'll eat it when I do.

I don't think I"ve ever tried mangoes with Gilbert, but he eats melons. :)
 
Mangos. Thats one I was going to ask about. Thanks IloveGilberttheguineapig. How about papaya? I give those to our sugar gliders and it always goes bad before we can use it all but if they can have it, great. If not, boo.
