Weekly piggy veg shopping!

[PigglePuggle]

Piggy daddy has just been to Asda so I thought I would share a pic of our weekly piggy veg shopping! This week we have: a bag of beetroot, kale and spinach salad, a huge bunch of coriander, 2 little gem lettuces, beansprouts, babycorn, 4 peppers and 2 cucumbers. To serve 8 greedy snouts, though I usually pick up an extra bag of mixed salad leaves midweek

What does everyone else buy?

 

[Merab's Slave]

My shopping trolley is full of assorted salad bags, coriander which the piggies love and I loathe, cucumber, red peppers, romaine or red gem lettuce, dill, celery.
I did buy corn cobettes last week so the piggies had 1 to share. It didn’t last long. I also buy green beans which we share.
My trolley, like yours, looks incredibly healthy!

How do they get on with the been sprouts?

Mine love beansprouts, but not all piggies do- @Merab's Slave 's beautiful Jemimah was very disdainful of my attempt to give her beansprouts!
The thing with beansprouts is they have a much shorter shelf life than what it says on the bag, and they need a good wash and if they smell at all funny I wont risk them with the piggies. So the beansprouts I bought today will be tonight and tomorrow night's dinner, I wouldnt keep them any longer!
Beansprouts are lots of fun to hand feed through the cage bars because they are just bitesize for posting into piggy mouths and you get so many in a bag

I often get comments at the checkout on my lovely healthy pile of shopping, sometimes I admit it's for the guinea pigs! We do share some of it with them though.

 

[Merab's Slave]

Mine do not like bean sprouts at all so I don’t bother now.
There’s still more than enough stuff they do like to keep them from fading away

How often do u give them the kale and baby spinach?

 

[Bill & Ted]

Bill and Ted like their veggies very fresh and can sniff out any “not too fresh“ veg which poor old slaves finish off at the end of the week Someone’s definitely in charge there, don’t think it’s us slaves?

 

[piggieminder]

We do the same @Bill & Ted , my OH says he's never eaten so much veg as he has since we got piggies.

 

[artcasper]

Don't judge but I hardly eat any salad/veg so I look super healthy at the supermarket when shopping for the piggies

 

[Black piggies]

It does make you look virtuous at the checkout, the pizzas and pringles being covered in veg

How often do u give them the kale and baby spinach?

Once a week or less, its one of a selection of mixed leaf salads with beetroot that they get as a playpen scatterfeed treat- sometimes they get the lamb's lettuce and red chard version, or a babyleaf version, depending on which shop and what they have in stock!

 

[Bill & Ted]

It’s really weird Bill and Ted alway leave the lamb’s lettuce? They just won’t touch it, that’s another thing we have to eat a lambs lettuce salad minus the beetroot and other tasty leaves!

 

[Merab's Slave]

Mine love lambs lettuce.
The lambs lettuce with red chard is hoovered up in no time

 

[LucyToons]

how many beansprouts would you feed daily/weekly please?

 

[alfredsmom]

Oh I love this! I love the idea of baby corn. I’ll add that to my shopping list next week
