Looking for a chat with some other pig owners.
We've had ours for a few weeks now and just looking for reassurance.
We still have them in their hutch indoors. I intended to put them outside but not so sure now. I think I am being a bit PFBGP about them which I didn't expect . I keep waiting for the weather to improve but so far it's been too wet/cold/windy.
Food wise I think they have reached a toddler stage - they are picky about their muesli and leaving some parts in favour of others. I think a plain food is recommended but they don't have it in local pet shop.
Also they seem to love parsley, cucumber and spinach but I'm not sure these are the best foods for them. I know cucumber is high in water and parsley and spinach have a lot of calcium. My gps are only 2 months old so are the higher calcium foods ok at this age?
They have refused to eat peppers of any colour. They did eat carrot but rejected it the last few times I tried it. The same with broccoli, after eating it the first few times they won't eat it now.
They like lettuce, is this better than spinach?
I haven't tried parsnip, cauliflower, or other veg yet. Any recommendations?
Sorry this is so long. I have more questions so I'll pop back later.
Thanks
