my bobby is not eating his veg again
he has a little bit dry food and hay, but is not eating his veg
do you think he is getting sick of the same foods?
 
Do you think it could be teeth problems? :-\

Maybe it would be a good idea to get him some new and different veg to see if it encourages him ;)
 
How is his weight? is he drinking normally?
How long since he's not eaten his veggies?
Sorry for the questions but if you can look back on the last say few days and think about what he has done it will give you an idea... i find if you know what they do each day you'll see a problem fairly quickly if something changes....
If it's toofies you need to see the vets, in the meantime tho chop up all veggies and fruits into much smaller pieces and also you could start syringe feeding or offering mushed up pellets, you can make these into small little balls which they can munch on quite easily O0
Post again if you have any more queries, there's always somebody on here to help, the mods are great O0 O0
 
If he is able to eat the hard dry mix,it is unlikely that there is a dental problem,but you cannot rule it out.

Piggies do have strikes on certain veggies,mine do this ,sometimes a piggy that loves cucumber will suddenly start to refuse it for a few days.As has already been suggested,it could be that you are not giving enough variety.Try and give at least 3 different veggies everday. I feed my pigs 3 to 4 times a day with veggies and put 2 different things each time.( in moderate amounts)
 
I give him carrot, cucumber and celery twice every day
and grass and hay
occasionally grapes and lettuce
 
Maybe give him more of a variety as if you keep on giving him the same things he may get sick of it or just basically dont like that certain veg or fruit :smitten:
