My two boys will not eat their veg. Naughty piggies. The only thing i can get them to eat more than a nibble of is apple which i try not to give to often. They have everything else they need so i will just persevere. Any tips x

How long have you had them? If they are new it will take some time for them to decide what they like. What have you tried them with already?
Try giving a little bit of a variety of veg in a bowl and see what they will pick out.

Mine all love lettuce, cucumber and green beans, but generally they are not fussy and will eat most things. They each have their favourites and least favourites but between them get through a variety of veg a day.
I don't give all at once but my four get a selction of;
Lettuce
Cucumber
celery
cherry tomato ( quartered as only 2 pigs like it)
carrots with tops occassionaly
Thin slices of pepper
brocolli occasionaly
beetroot
sweetcorn as a treat
cabbage occasionally
The fruit they tend to get as a treat if i'm having it:
melon
apple
pear
cherries
grapes

Have a look at the sticky in the food section its called shopping list for more ideas of veg.

Also try different coloured bell peppers, my 3 hate green and red but all eat yellow and 2 of them eat orange ! I can't really tell a difference in the taste but apparently they can ! rolleyes
 
Let them try things a few times, it took mine a while before they would eat most things at the beginning. Sometimes my lot would just sniff and ignore things but now they will just about eat anything especially if the other one wants it. Don't worry to much, you'll soon be wondering where all the veggies you bought have gone too :(|)
