Absolutely fine, they are not massively important, aslong as you don't run out of hay or veg, no worries. One of my pigs doesn't even like pellets

They’ll be fine. Pellets only make up 5% of their diet (a tablespoon per piggy per day). But please cut back on the carrots. They should only be fed as a treat, no more than once a week.

Yeah they can go without pellets, I wouldn't worry about it. Do make sure they get plenty of hay though. Especially without the pellets, you need to be careful about not feeding too many veggies.

Why do you only feed carrots once a week?

They are too high in sugar to be fed regularly. They, and any root veg, fruit and tomatoes, should be regarded as nothing more than a very occasional treat
