Pigs are NOT vegetarians. Theyre omnivores. So, not, you should not feed them only veg. Meats and fruits are excellent for them. Also, your list of toxic foods is completely wrong. None of those things are toxic to pigs. If fed in large quantities, acorns can cause some issues, but they would need to be eating pounds of them every day for a long period. Where on earth did you get your information?? It certainly wasnt from anyone who knows anything about pigs and their needs!

I think she knows what she is doing, she has so many animals and I think she is amazing with them and knowing how to care for them. I do not have a mini pig, but I trust her with all of her animal instructions. If she is right, or made a mistake, please do not correct people. She was just trying to help and is doing no harm to mini pig owners. Meghan, thank you for all of your help, my Meyer part is a lot happier and healthier now that I got most of her seeds out of her diet. -Ava <3

P.S. To Meghan,

Can you do a toxic parrot list? I know some things but not a lot. I gave my cockatiel to much salt and poisoned him. I know salt is bad for them but know not a lot of other things, please help me, thanks -Ava
