So I have two new piggies and one isn't really eating veggies, she eats all her other food but never eats the veggies I give her. Any advice?
 
She probably hasn't had them before. Keep persevering by putting them in the cage every day. She will learn off your other piggy if your other piggy is eating them. She will eventually try them.
 
I have to agree with above. Try different foods, including fruit! Strawberries when cut in half can be a winner for many pigs including the green stalks.
 
I do put a bowl of veggies in her cage every day... and I'll continue to do so... my piggies are in separate cages, I got buttercup about two weeks after having hazelnut. I have buttercup quarantined for about a week, I'll be introducing them to each other in a few days.... both piggies have a clean bill of health and have been thriving and gaining weight... just a matter of time before they'll be housed in the same enclosure. Thanks for the advice...
 
Don’t worry too much, Bill loves fruit and veg, Ted only likes veg and only certain ones. When I got them as babies neither would eat veggies. I think it’s a learning curve, and if their parents were not given veg then they don’t get that experience, and have to learn new foods. Neither will eat peppers and they are 3.5 years old
