That was this morning, they'll probably get a bit of pepper, apple, and broccoli this evening, mainly cos that's what we'll be having.
Since getting my Guinea pigs I've tried more veg than I'd ever done before - I would never have bought kurly Kale for my family but I've found I quite like it - not moved on to the grass or hay yet though! ;D
 
This morning pigs have had (per pig)

1/8th Yellow Pepper
1/2 Cherry Tomato
2 Sprigs Corriander
2 Leaves Round Lettuce
1 Handful of Watercress

Tonight they will have (per pig)

2 Leaves Curly Lettuce
1/2 Carrot
2 Grapes
2 Leaves Savoy Cabbage
1 inch chunk of Melon

Asda have loads of green and yellow peppers for £1.38 a large bag and cabbage in Aldi is 29p :D Kale is on offer in Tesco for 74p

And as a side note Aldi have Christmas wrapping paper for 99p a roll and they are HUGE! :D
 
i wish mine would eat peppers!

they have had

carrot (they dont like it much but I'm trying to make them like it because they will only eat leafy things)
rocket
chives
grapes
cucumber
c.flower leaves
 
Well the boys didn't like the watercress but the girls did. I won't buy that again, they all have to like it for me to buy it again.

I love Asda, they do little punnets of seedless grapes for £1.00 far cheaper then buying a load for £3.00 I love grapes though! :D
 
I saw they had melon segments too for £1.00 far better then buying a whole melon I'll do that next time then I can nick some! I think the herbs are really cheap in Asda too, I don't like the potted herbs you don't get a lot on them! I'm turning into a veg price expert! lol x
 
;D ;D ;D thats what happens to me, jay picked an organic cucmber up the other day and i was like 'whatt?!?! no, no, no organic you're having a laugh have you seen the price?!' he was like ok chill out its a cucumber ;D thats the trouble with getting melon, its like a slice for pigs, 2 for me, slice for pigs, 3 for Jay, it last about a day here ;D x
 
lol Peter goes mad as I am an hour in the veggie section! I try not to nibble their veggies but with grapes I'll have to check for them being sour...lol

I'm looking at all my veggies on the floor in the kitchen and thinking where are they going to go, I've no space in the fridge!
 
This morning mine have had:

pea shoots
baby leaf greens
parsley
corn on the cob
carrott
apple

This evening

romaine lettuce
cucumber
celery
tomato
baby orange peppers
 
I've a spare draw I can put carrots and cabbage in there for the night and lettuce in the fridge. I need a small pig fridge! :D
 
We've just got a new fridge and there isnt much space at all in there, at the moment i have crammed a HUGE spring greens, a cabbage, a lettuce, a big bag of Kale and a big bag of spinach onto the shelves, then the rest; carrot, turnip, green beans, melon, grapes, cucumber, parsley, corriander, dill, parsnip, cellery and peppers in the draws ;D the only other things in the fridge that are for humans are coke, milk and a tub of clover ;D
 
lol my girls love watercress they had it yesterday. the piggies have their own fridge in my kitchen, we used to keep the beer in there but now its for the piggies. OH wasnt happy ;D

i really need to get some corn on cobs for them they havent had them in a while and they love them, does anybody know if they are on offer anywhere?
 
Louise what a great idea, a pig fridge...think I may have to mention it to hubby when he gets in from work! He will think that I have finally lost the plot. Trouble is their stuff is overtaking the fridge...
 
Emma thats the usual price which i dont mind but you dont get many leaves and thats their favourite part ::)
 
Oh right lol! I know what you mean its a shame they take most of the leaves off! My mums not letting me leave the pig stuff in the fridge anymore :( we've got those basket draws with the new kitchen so ive got to use them :( will still be putting fruit and stuff like cucumber in the fridge though :) x
 
I get baby corn in Aldi for 75p. I have a dodgy wrist so find it hard to chop the actual corn up I'm the same with turnip I can't chop it!

Kaz, I'm going to run it past Peter, he'll open the fridge and see three shelfs full of pig food...lol
 
i still put the cucumber in my fridge lol not the piggies (dont tell them) ;D the rest goes in their fridge though :)

Louise they wont eat baby corn lol i need to be more strict like you :) but i am being strict with carrot now O0
 
LOL Louise, my hubby goes bonkers when he goes to the fridge and it is crammed with piggy veg and salad...Especially when he said "oooh great, cucumber and cheery tomotoes we haven't had those for ages" to which i replied " dont eat them they are for the piggies" I cant repeat his response!
 
mine have had:

1 brussell sprout top
1/2 a carrot
1/2 a broccoli stalk
handful of cranberries
2 cabbage leaves

all diced the way they like it

for dinner they will have a double handful of pellets each, plus they get a little porridge made with water, with different fruits added

for their 10 pm feed, they are having the rest of their broccoli
 
Mine had Tesco guinea pig food this morning, and a full rack of hay. This evening they have had the outside leaves of a cauliflower and a bit of dried grass.
 
Spinach
Carrot
Turnip
Kale
Romain letteuce
Spring greens
Some herb stuff from the naturals range at P@H
didnt bother with bowls today i just chucked it in, i think its funny that when you put it in the cage looks a bomb then 5 mins later its clean again ;D
 
Mine had had (per pig)

Round Lettuce
Carrot
Green Pepper
Cucumber
Dill

Tonight they will have

Yellow Pepper
Cherry Tomato
Corriander
Savoy Cabbage
Red Pepper
 
Mine hate all kinds of pepper! Either Maggie or Sephy will eat yellow pepper (not sure which because they're in the same cage lol) but most of the time they just look at it! Can they have them baby lettuces, ive seen them in asda and never been sure?
 
Hi Emma,

If you mean Gem Lettuce then they can have them, I used to get them but there wasn't a lot on them so stick to Round and Curly.

I'm lucky mine all love peppers, it's cabbage they don't like but I'll try them with Savoy tonight.

Peter made me a cuppa earlier and Flora was wheeking for one! 98) She has been a madam today, woke me up at 8am wheeking at Fleur and has been rumbling at her and trying to get her head higher than Fleur's! I feel sorry for Fleur she just wants some peace! Normally Flora is so nice so this is a complete change of personalty for her! Little minx!
