Oh Good! TEAS is a wonderful place, Debbie, Emma and Simon as such a skilled team
 
I saw your thread about the babies with tooth troubles. So glad you were able to find a good solution for them. Looking forward to pics of your herd!
 
There is @Janice C with 16 piggies like you!
Personally I would reduce the carrots... and also the other vegs sound excessive. Piggies are not vegetarians, but herbivores and need to fill their gut with the fibre of hay (or grass). Also teeth need to be eroded and vegs don't erode anything (luckily for us and our teeth of course :D)
 
I’ve reduced the carrots :)

Do you think peppers 3 times a week is okay?
 
I give peppers every day because they'e high in vitamin c and low in calcium
 
Kale, broccoli and greens are all brassicas, so I only tend to give a small amount of these at a time, as they can be quite gassy. Peppers are great for every day too. That's a great assortment of veggies. In winter mine tend to have a fairly boring diet, but you've got a much better assortment than I give.
 
3 peppers are fine, but I only give my piggies once a week because of the sugar content. It sounds as if your piggies are spoilt, why not. Lol
