I give one cup of veg per piggy every day.
Some people split the veg feeds in half - and give half a cup in the morning and half a cup in the evening.

Veg twice a day for us, I like to make sure they have their vitamin C and they love veg so much!

Twice a day here too. Try to give a variety of veg if you can, don’t just stick to one. We humans usually end up eating any left over veg on Sunday lunch, as they are spoilt rotten!

As they can't make or store vitamin C I think they need it daily.

Mine get twice daily veg - roughly a pasta bowl full for 3 piggies.
There may also be an occasional extra piece of cucumber or handful of herbs due to the rising noise level when they hear me in the kitchen

Yes as soon as you walk into the kitchen they are up at the bars! And if you open the fridge door it’s mayhem! The fridge should have Bill and Ted’s on it! Hardly any room for us humans to put anything in it sometimes

I think also being piggy mummy to a bloat-prone pig, veg little and often interspersed with lots of hay is better for the guts...

Mine get 3 times of veggies a day. This plus occasional fruits as treats. The most important thing is they get endless supply of hay, and some pellets as well.
I make sure they get enough vitamins through plenty of veggies.

Mine get veggies every day. I give mine veggies once in the evening as this is what is most convenient for me. We have our main meal of an evening so I'm chopping up veg for us and I just do a few more for the piggies.
