is this ok for half of a days veggies for two boars? I'm not sure of volume.

Courgette, coriander, romaine lettuce, yellow pepper and cherry tomato (I know it to give this regularly)

Thanks in advance

Hey, it should weigh around 30-40g per pig per portion eg. breakfast or tea.

How big are the chunks of cucumber and the size of lettuce it is hard to tell on photo... but look good size portion to me.
 
Apologies it's courgette not cucumber.... That wont get ate lol I bet! How are the boys settling in?

Asparagus is hated with a passion :))

Go for crowd pleasers like little gem lettuce, coriander, cucumber - is loved by most piggies.
 
Hahaha Good tip, no asparagus tips then!

Yes the pigs have liked cucumber, little gem and coriander. They especially love lettuce. Is this little gem one ok to give in some quantity? I will weigh everything next time as I find the whole 'cup' thing difficult.
 
I will pop our rough diet on this thread for you tomorrow but we feed little gem round 3 times per week easily two leaves each normally in the evening
 
That would be great thanks so much! Xx
 
Mine don't like courgette but will eat parsnip peel. There is no way they're getting asparagus, *Mine!*
 
Neither of mine like courgette or cucumber lol, but Comet will eat parsnip, and Blitzen loves mint. And yes, I agree with @Guineapigfeet any asparagus is mine! My two both love flat leaf parsley though. Or spinach - it's dangerous to get between them and their spinach!

Say Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat! :))

Courgette, that must be a forum first!

ah yes Asparagus, I am yet to hear of a piggy that eats it
 
As promised - We feed ours this roughly

Morning:
Cucumber -1.5 cm x 2cm chunks (twice)
Celery - 1 stick between 3 chopped up small
1/6th of Red/Green/Yellow Bell Pepper (de-seeded)

Evening:
Cucumber 1.5 cm x 2cm chunks (twice)
Two Little Gem Lettuce leaves or 10 sprigs Coriander. Twice a week we will swap in cabbage or parsley

We also add in to the above diet carrot, sweet potato, celery leaves and a few other things occasionally

But by no means am I any expert on food here, some folks on the forum are really clued up... so pick up advise where you can.
