Have seen bags of spring greens in Asda...except they don't say just what is in the bag..what is spring greens?
The bag looked mainly white cabbage to me.

And if I bought a bag, how often can spring greens be given?
 
I"m not entirely sure what family spring greens come into.Mine all eat them and love the stalks especially.I think mine get them about 4 times a week.
 
mine have spring greens everyday, but the spring greens from tesco are cabbages which are tall dark leafy greens, mine love them :)
 
it's cabbage, it comes in a bag, and it's a very loose leafed very dark green cabbage.
 
So can they have spring greens everyday? I'm looking for something like this that the boys can eat lots of. I know it's everything in moderation but I'd like to find something that they could eat everyday to become part of their daily diet, it would make things easier seeing as they are fussy!

mmmmmmm not sure how much you should feed, i know too much cabbage can make them have really gassy tummys, which may give them belly ache, maybe someone else will know for sure
 
Thanks:)
Yup Louise I agree, looking for stuff that can be given almost every dayhere too.

John Anderson seems to like most things.
But if spring greens is cabbage, then I'm going to need to watch with Bob (I don't now if it were intro to veg or the cabbage that upset his tum)

Spring greens in Asda don't look dark green though, definately looked like some lettcue mixed with white cabbage, which is why I havsn't bought any.

Might try Sainsbury's though...not tried there for veggies for the piggies yet.
Normally buy fruit and veg from Lidl and main shopping for us in Asda. But enver seen spring greens in Lidl.
 
Yeah I spoke to the vet today about lettuce and she said twice a week, mine seem to like corn but I give that every three days. Green pepper is a fav at the mo. It's so hard getting something they all like together. I read cabbage is gassy, they like Savoy but again I don't give it all the time! They wreck my head sometimes! :)
 
Neither of my two will touch peppers of any colour...so frustrating because I know that would be a good thing for them to have.
 
mine are the smae, my 2 boys will not touch pepper yet my girls love them!

mine have a leaf of spring green cabbage everyday, always have and always will do they all love it, they all have fine poo's, never appear bloated etc..my girls are nearly 6yrs and have had it everyday since i got them at around 8 wks old :)
 
It goes to show doesn't it? It's frustrating because we all want our pigs to live a happy and long life, more should be done to educate us newbies about foods etc, a guide would be nice, maybe a timetable of what they can have daily and then twice a week etc etc. I used to throw a quarter of a green pepper in and it never got touched, but now I chop it and the boys love it. Red pepper is full of sugar though so I just feed that to my daughters they love it!

mine loove spring greens, only the dark leaves (so fussy!) ::) but you shouldn't feed to often, i don't think as they can get tummy upsets, i'd say 2 to 3 times a week is ok, myself. :)
 
I bought a bag of greens from sainsburys this week. Seem like a good thing as is cabbage and you get two clumps of it in the bad. Trouble is my pigs won't eat it :tickedoff:

They don't seem to like cabbage type things that are really thick leaved and waxy. They won't eat white cabbage. Only savoy or kale, which i know they can't have too often.

I have fickle piggies ::) ::)
 
mine looove kale and savoy too, but they can't have it a lot. ::) mine will only eat the spring greens if they are dark green, so the middle gets wasted. ::) ;D
 
Mine have spring greens most days,my neighbour works in Tesco and the man who does the reductions on the f+v keeps some veggies back for the girls,so they have a huge variety :)
 
I get my spring greens from Asda and it is dark green.The guinea pigs,rabbits & hen share?
