Hi! :)
Stubbins has improved a ton over the past month and has finally started to make solid poops! I am a bit worried about beginning to give the piggies veggies once again. Stubbins' recovery took eight months, and I am incredibly anxious about her changing anything in her diet, especially because she has not had her vegetable for about six months. Does anybody have advice as to when/how to begin the process?
Thank you!

I’m glad she is doing well.
Very very very slowly!
id start by giving one sprig of coriander/cilantro. See how it goes. Increase to two sprigs. See how it goes. Etc. If all is well, then add in something else, pepper for example and observe. Stop immediately if she has problems again
 
I agree with slowly, slowly.
When Lucy had problems (not as bad as Stubbins though), I literally introduced 1 new veggie every 8 - 10 days to make sure she could deal with it before adding anything else.
So we started with coriander, then 10 days later a small piece of pepper, and kept up with those 2 for 3 weeks, before introducing the next veg.
It was a very long process but it did work.
