Luna Stands Back At Veggie Time.

[Cavy Lover]

Her teeth are fine. She is my newest edition to the pig family. But it has been a few weeks. She will eat veg when when I put it to her lips and after that if it is infront of her, but that is it. She won't go up to the bowl and take some. But she will with pellets.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Is Luna living alone or has she got companions she can learn from? If she hasn't had veg or much veg in her previous life, then it can be a bit of a job to entice her to eat it. I would recommend that you feed veg before you feed pellets and that you feed pellets in two smaller portions that can be eaten in one go; that will hopefully get her to consider veg more.

Mine won't eat veg from a bowl, if I put it in a pile each on the fleece they dive straight in. They do eat nuggets from bowls though.

She is with other pigs and she has been with them since the start of July and they get veg twice a day.
