Hi everyone I am new on here and have only had my piggies 2 weeks (Bubble and Squeak). Can someone please give me a list of all the fruit and veg they are allowed as people keep telling me different things. At the moment they love baby corn, brocolli, kale, carrot, spinach, not too keen on cabbage or mangetout. My main concern is fruit I have given them apple and a small slice of melon but a friend said I shouldn't give them anything that is "wet" is this true.

So it would be great if someone could please give me a list of all the things that are safe to give them as I am very confused.

I have been giving them dried grass (forage) every day and they love it, but they don't seem to eat that much hay, well from the hay rack anyway, maybe they are eating whats on bottom of cage, not sure.

They don't drink much water either, is this normal?

Sorry for all the questions, just wanting to get all the info I can.

By the way they are 2 girls 11weeks old.
 
There is a full list on The food section at the top called Shopping list.

Some piggies drink loads and some drink hardly any, you could just not be noicing it or they just dont drink a lot like mine, they must be getting enough from their veg.

Thanks for that I will have a look. :)
 
Welcome to the forum.

Mine always eat the hay off the bottom of the cage, they pull it all out of the hay rack and then eat it....Have given up with the hay rack!
 
I'm not sure about your friends theory on 'wet' foods! I know cucumber and melon are safe, and I would say that they are wet.
