You are doing the right thing - hay should be about 80% of a piggy's diet with veg and pellets making up about 10% each.

Have a read of these threads that give details of foods you can give and in what proportion. Most foods can be given in small amounts. Just avoid over feeding anything very watery (}like lettuce) and with high calcium content (spinach and kale etc).

Mine get a bit of cucumber and bell pepper each day. They get a bit of romaine every other day alternated with coriander. Then I rotate a bit of celery, a bit of sweetheart cabbage, a bit of broccoli. kale I feed occasionally, they occasionally get a bit of carrot or fruit (small bit of apple or a blueberry) as a treat.
