Hi All,

Just thought I'd start a new thread about what we have given them today. I find it really helpful to see what others are giving. :)

Today the pigguns have had (per pig)

1 Large Romaine leaf
1/8 Green Pepper
1/8 Yellow Pepper
1 Pinky Finger Carrot
1 Branchlet of Brocolli
2 Sprigs of Corriander

For tea time they will have

Handful of Mixed Leaves (Curly and Round)
1/8 Yellow Pepper
2 Sprigs Parsley
1 inch chunk of apple
 
Mine havent had their veg yet, the house is up the wall with the kitchen getting refitted and the gas being done, then the piggie room is also a tip because there's 3 large hutches in there! I'm going to have to wait until someone has gone either the gas man or the fitters so thers room to chop veg! So so far they've had a bowl of dried food each and a hanful of hay, and Ralfie's had septrin, eye drops and mucus powder ::) bless him! x
 
Aww bless! I was feeding mine a little later in the day when I clean the cages out but Mr T was having none of it so I've gone back to the morning. They are all content now, S&T woof theirs down so fast. Pudsey and Eccles are still a little weary of new things so most of their veg is still there except for the Romaine and they like carrots chopped a certain way, I chopped them into batons yesterday and they wouldn't touch them!

The girls save there food, they'll eat some but safe the rest for around lunch time, clever girls! :)
 
Lol! All of mine eat the best stuff first, Kale, cabbage, spinach, parsley, melon, grapes. The rest gets left until they're really desperate! x
 
LOL thats what the girls are doing, I think carrots are too much like hard work for them at the mo they are stuffed! >:D
 
I have to confess, I don't know exactly what they've had.
We have a shelf in the fridge full of guinea pig veggies and Shauna likes to do their breakfast.
Carrot, Romaine, cucumber, curly kale and cauliflower leaves seem likely suspects,
due to rubbish left on the kitchen unit. ;D ;D ;D
They have a big bowl full per pair of piggies.
I treat them through the day to bits of tomato, celery etc
can't resist their wheeking.
Tonight they will have more goodies from the piggie shelf.
 
Aww bless, my fridge is my piggy fridge I need to sort out a shelf just for them. I couldn't find the marg this morning for peppers and curly lettuce! :)
 
;D ;D ;D ;D
It is a big shelf, mine have.
Hubby moaned yesterday, said we have no tomatoes in our bit and tons on piggie shelf.
I told him to get some and not use them all. :D :D
As if it matters who eats what. Lol
 
LOL Emily says to me mum can I have a carrot I say no they are for the pigs!...lol I now buy more so when I am preparing the veggies she can have some too. I'm sure she used to be a rabbit! :)
 
today i fed them babycorn and mangetout for breakfast, but i think i may have to swap the mangetout for something else, bobs turning his nose up at it ::)

tonight they will have carrot and kale
 
mine have had apple and celery and grass.
Tonight they will have more of the same but will be giving them tomatoe and cucumber thru the day as i also cannot resist the wheeking ;D

I get no takers for mangetout or baby sweetcorn - I get really miffed cos they're often on special offer and are cheaper than the carrots and cabbage!
 
Only romaine lettuce and fresh hay. There's a corn cob and cabbage leaf untouched so I'm not going to play games! Tonight it'll be carrot, romaine lettuce, apple and plum. At least these piggies get their 5 a day even though I don't! ;D
 
Mine defo eat better than me! the only veg we have is for the pigs apart from the odd tomato! Only because the pigs dont like them though! xx
 
Cucumber and a bit of carrot
I just love the sounds they make when they eat those two veg :smitten:
 
A bit of celery and mixed lettuce (no iceberg). Got sprout tops tomorrow and cucumber
 
mine had celery,carrots and melon this morning and tonight they have had cucumber,greens and apple
 
I'm ashamed to say I have no idea what mine had today. I was late back from work and my son told me he'd fed them, but I forgot to ask what ::) I know they had their dry food this morning and I filled the hay rack, which was promptly tipped out all over the cage ::)

There's not much in the fridge though so it was almost certainly celery or carrot.
 
Been shopping, mine have now had:
Cabbage
Cauliflower leaves
Parsley
Coriander
Carrot
Cucumber
Babycorn
Green beans
Brocolli
and parsnip

:)
 
Mine leave it until last but its usually gone when there's nothing else left! The girls dont like it as much as Ralf, they love green stuff, he likes stuff that isnt green too :)
 
I've never tried Parsnip, not sure they would like it. :)

Today mine are having (per pig)

2 Leaves of Curly Lettuce
1/2 Cherry Tomato
1/8 Green Pepper
1/8 Yellow Pepper
Pinky Finger of Carrot
2 Sprigs of Corriander

Tonight they will have

2 Leaves Round Lettuce
1 Branchlet of Brocolli
1/8 Red Pepper.

I gve them more in the mornings as they are hungrier then and prefer to eat their hay in the afternoon so loads of veggies where being left and I was wasting them. :)
 
today Maisy and Poppy have had:
spring greens
tomatos
cucumber
basil
kale

Cookie had
carrot
cucumber
and because she didnt touch her sprout yesterday she has tried little bit of basil
