Wanna know what my little piggy eats??

by Deric Stowell on February 14th, 2010

I am totally amazed at how much this little guy can eat. He eats all day, at least 4 time a day! Well i guess he is a vegetarian. He hasn’t even tried to bite my fingers yet!! The cutest thing is when I offer him a bit of lettuce, and he sometimes will just be content munching away at it from my hand, other times he will grab it really fast, and take it back to his house  and eat it in there.

 

here is a typical days meal plan:

7:00am – A leaf of romaine lettuce, and a small sliver of green pepper.

9:00am – some more green pepper, and some timothy hay

noon – half a leaf of green lettuce, and maybe some orange or carrot.
** The carrots have to be organic, or he wont eat them!

3pm – some alfalfa pellets and some dried fruit treats

5pm – timothy hay and some more carrot, maybe a slice of apple

He has always seemed to have a problem drinking water from his water bottle, so I started putting a small bowl of water in next to the food bowl. I have seen him dip his dried food pellets in the water, then eat them when they become soggy enough. Talk about a finnicky eater!

It has been real fun learning the many things that he likes and dislikes. He absolutely LOVES lettuce.
