Hi everyone just looking for some help one of my piggy’s has gone off pepper I have seen on here coriander is a good replacement I’m just wondering how much as all 4 piggy’s get 2 stems each at night as it is so I’m not sure what to do with Miss fussy many thanks x
 
Have a look at the feeding guides, I try and give mine as many different things as possible. I regularly go foraging too in the hedgerows. Like humans I think they really appreciate a mixed diet as possible
 
Thank you very much could you send me a link I can’t seem to find the guide I’m not very good with these things could you give me some examples of different veggies you use because currently daily mine have…

Pepper and cucumber at morning
Coriander lettuce (romain) cucumber and green beans at night.

I feel bad they will be fed up they get the occasional carrot melon grape or blueberry or apple sometimes and I have pea flakes now and again forage but I don’t use the forage too much I’m not sure how often I should be using it as they get thier 4 tablespoons between them each morning and of course hay unlimited

Here you go.
 
Lexa is very picky about her peppers. She much prefers thin-walled peppers to thicker, juicier peppers, and she'd rather have red or orange than yellow. My first recommendation would be to try a different pepper. Try a big bell (thick-walled), try some of those snack peppers (thin-walled), try different colors ... I had one piggy who's absolute favorite was these dark purple minibells we grew one year that were quite tart/bitter (not spicy, but I struggle to call them sweet). Lexa's preferred pepper in one we grow called Jimmy Nardello, but she'll eat the orange yum-yum or lunchbox, as well. She'll turn her nose up at thicker walled pepper pieces. Latte will eat either ... and the piece Lexa didn't want, haha.
