I am planning to feed SS grainless gp pellets with nature’s own meadow hay. They will have a tbsp of the pellets and unlimited hay. For veg, I will use the guides on here to see how much to feed and what to feed. Any tips on how to make enrichment better?
 
Yes, any grass hay in unlimited amounts, one cup of veg per day and tablespoon of pellets is fine.
Scatter feeding veg and pellets (instead of using bowls) and mixing it in amongst large piles of hay is one of the best forms of enrichment. Otherwise, cardboard boxes with holes cut in a d then filled with hay are great fun for them

I am willing to buy pretty much anything if it makes their diet better. (just not too expensive and at a reasonable price!)

Do you add anything to their diet? If so what do you add?

What exactly do you mean by adding anything to their diet?
My piggies get unlimited amounts of Haybox meadow hay, a variety of veg daily but mostly leafy greens and herbs, and half a tablespoon each of Haybox 100% grass pellets. I buy Piggie Parcels forage and give them a pinch of that most days. In summer they are on the lawn 12 or so hours every day so graze freely (still with hay available)
