Wow!

Hay and grass (poor things haven't had any grass for a couple of months now - can't wait for the spring!)
lettuce, peppers, cucumber, blueberries, carrots, celery, apple, banana, orange, kale, broccoli, cauliflower (especially the leaves), Tesco nuggets, and pretty much all veg except tomatoes and courgette for some strange reason.

Your boys are welcome any time, although there's a good chance Shelly and Delilah will have hoovered up most of it by the time they get here! :D

Mine won't touch tomatoes or courgette unless they are peeled. Forgot to add blueberries, banana skin, melon peel, hazelnut leaves, grass and butternut squash peel to my list. There is probably more to add but never mind.
 
In our short time together (3 days) I've discovered they like:
Baby gem lettuce,
Butterhead lettuce,
Red and green lettuce,
Carrot,
Cucumber,
Bell pepper,
Parsley,
Basil,
Celery,
Celery leaves,
Broccoli (although they don't like to eat it twice in a row)
Burgess excell mint nuggets,
Mixed Meadow grass,
Mixed hay.
(There's probably more)


They don't like - Brussels sprouts and blueberries.
Brussels sprouts- Ignored plate cleaned of everything else!
Blueberries - tiny tooth Mark on one, nibbled, discarded, ignored when the rest of the plate was cleaned.

In all honesty I expected them to ignore the nuggets, but they seem to really enjoy them.
 
My pigs like food, food and more food. Pretty much if it's edible and food they like it. Their fav food is coriander though. And i'm happy to say that after 6-7 months struggle with only eating 10% of their diet in hay they now like hay too.

Mine don't like brussel sprouts whole but if I peel the little leaves off they love them then, just to be complicated lol.

Yeah it's weird. They're like little kids! I've seen another person who's piggies will only eat grated carrot and another that'll only eat parsnip peel.

Mine prefer the peel off parsnip too lol. They actually love peels off cucumber, carrot and zucchini/courgette too for something different than chunks.
 
Mine eat courgette but leave the peel so now I peel it before I give it to them.
