Toffee and Spice seem to have decided they don't like veggies any more. They still love their coriander (I hand feed them two sprigs each every morning) but they don't seem interested in anything else. They have lettuce and cucumber in the morning and pepper (whatever colour I happen to buy) plus a little bit of something else - celery or broccoli or maybe a green bean in the evening. But apart from the broccoli (which I don't think I should give them every day) they leave most of the rest. I don't know what else i can try.

At their last two weekly weigh-ins they'd both lost a little bit of weight. Not a significant amount - between 10-20g but it's worrying me.
 
I'm having fussy eating too. Perhaps there's something going on with the Romaine. My piggies used to love it. Grass and cucumber still work. I find if I put veg like celery in water so that it starts to grow, they show more interest in it. It needs to be washed though before feeding.
 
Veggies are not the most important part of the diet so I wouldn’t worry if they’re not eating as many veggies as usual.
Mine do sometimes go off something.
It’s like our favourite food yesterday is poison today !

Just ensure plenty of hay, fresh water and if you’re worried then go to the vet.
