Which veggies?

[Milster]

The only veggies my piggies seem to want to eat is leaves of various descriptions and cucumber. Everything else I've tried they just seem to nibble at, I've tried carrot, pepper, sweetcorn, cauli, broccoli, toms (seem to go down a bit better). Should I just persevere with these?

Also which are good for vit c as I don't give them supplements? Was thinking they'd get that from veg.

On another note why should you feed Iceberg lettuce?

Thank you

Yeah, sorry, I meant to say why should you not give them iceberg

Some people say they can eat iceberg lettuce, allthough it does not have any nutritional value, and some say it can cause digestive or kidney problems, i am unsure on this now, lol, i think we may need to wait for an experienced forum friend to respond to this thread

Because Icebergs are too watery, almost have no nutritional values etc.
