Babies nurse on their Mom, or are bottle fed formula for farm animals. They start eating piggy pellets and very small pieces of cut up vegetables and fruits at about two weeks of age. They should continue on Mother's milk or formula until 4-6 weeks of age.

They will eat meat, if you let them, but I would not. It's too high in proteins and fats for a 'healthy pet pig diet'. Plus, it costs a fortune.

Pot belly pigs are omnivores and will eat anything. However, it is best to avoid meat and feed them a prepared diet meant especially for them to avoid possible problems. Also, feces of pigs fed primarily a vegetarian diet have little odor compared to pigs given meat and other such table scraps.

Absolutely. 25% of your pigs diet can consist of veggies and some fruits. A variety, in moderation, will help your pig to be satisfied and healthy.

YES! A guinea pig can eat lettuce! It is very healthy for them. My guinea pigs LOVE it! You should give it to them every day, or every other day.

How long do guine pigs eat?

I have a guine pig named toffee. Each morning I give her a pieace of lettuce and pieace of cucumber and a few grapes and a pieace of carret. I usally wash the food I give my guine pig under the sink. so the posin comes off the food and she gets enough liquid. my guine pig doesn't drink water she gets all the liquid she needs from the fruit and vegs. Guiens pigs eat when ever there hungry. If they ate all the food by the end of the night, its good to give then a corn on the cob and a pieace of tomato and mabey a apple cor for her to last in the night. Its good to play with your guine pig every day like pat your guine pig and talk to them and give them a little run a around on the grass. Guine pigs could eat grass though not weeds! ecpessaly when the weeds are sprayed with weed killer.
