Which Veg

[cheekylady3108]

i have read the guides and list of foods, my two girls are not very adventurous with vegetables. i have read cabbage should not be given too regularly as it causes them gas and bloating. we have tried courgettes, pepper, tomatoes, they just leave these and will not eat. they will eat cucumber, grapes apples and melon, but i limit due to acid and water content. their prefer cavoli nero cabbage this is their favourite, they will eat carrot and baby corn (which i understand is not good often due to sugar content.) bit concerned that giving them cabbage will make them ill, any ideas ?

I have found with the fussiest eaters to limit their veg to just a small amount of perhaps 2 different veg at one time eg red pepper and celery. If that's all there is they usually end up eating it in the end. When I have offered a good mix they have selected just their favourites and left the rest. Now that all mine are used to a mix of veg they get a good mix again. My piggies also love coriander and a little broccoli (to be limited due to risk of bloating) as well as the others listed by @piggyfan

my boys love those baby leaf mix bags you can get in asda for £1
most days i give them that then some days i'll put some carrot or cucumber in

 

[cheekylady3108]

Have tried all the above and they have much more variety now, and a lot less cabbage, thanks everyone

fresh herbs are a good one to try aswell.

 

[K'sGuineaPigs]

My boys have a mix of romaine, cucumber,celery, any colour pepper and green beans. once a week i give them a strawberry top or grape. i also mix and swap baby corn. they eat all of this. they wont touch fresh herbs they turn their noses up! I was wary of salad bags as wasnt sure some stuff in it was ok. @Cookie&Cream can you post a link to show me which one? I am a very visual learner

I had some pak choi left when we'd had a stir fry, so the piggies tried that and really loved it. Because its crunchy at the bottom and leafy at the top I think it caters for wider tastes!
