Maybe someone cane help me on this... Patches does not eat ANY fresh food and looks at me like I'm nuts when I give it to her...She wont eat, carrot, pepper, cucumber, tomato... Nothing, just hay, a little bit of orange, and some pellets. :-\ :-\ :-\
 
have you had her teeth etc checked out make sure there's not something more untoward to stop her nibbling on such pig delicacies?

Have you tried the multitude of other things like lettice they often love but can be down to personal taste?
Si
 
have you left it in with her for a little while & left her to it?

like others have said, get her teeth checked, give her some vit c whist she isnt eating veg and introduce more veg (slowly), some piggies are just really fussy, you could try lettuce, melon, spring greens, kale, corn on cob :)
 
If it is her teeth I would try her with some soft greens and get the vit c in her. Does she have a friend with her? Sunshine wasn't sure about veg at first but he got the hang of it. Hope she is ok. :)
 
her teeth are fine, shes just a fussy eater, she ate some carrots last night... I got another female pig today and I'm putting her through a quarentine process for two weeks. To make sure she is healthy, as her mom died and her sister I got with her died tonight :'(... But I will try some kale, broccoli and maybe some lettuce.. Any certain type?
 
Go easy on the kale and broccoli as they should only be fed in moderation - they are high in calcium and very gassy. Any lettuce apart from iceberg is fine - romaine is probably the highest in nutrients.
 
OMG! Patches LOVES Spinach! lol I loved feeding it to her as she was so excited! And carrots! I think she just didnt know what to do with it! But she loves Spinack and Carrots! :smitten:
