Funny, ours won't eat citrus stuff.
But like Neil they've enjoyed FB in the past.
Waste milk, potatoes, garden waste, apples in the autumn - doesn't matter how sorted they are they love them.
If keeping them indoors, you could follow the "pigaerator" model of Joel Salatin - using them to turn a winter's cattle bed into compost. Though I think @Hilly likes to have his sheds cleaned out spotless by the time the cows have galloped round the field 3 times

I found they wouldn't touch oranges so i started splitting them open in the barrier with my shovel edge, figuring the skin is pretty horrible.
As an aside, the orange peel game is something we play with the dogs, it smells nice so they take it to eat, but then when they taste it they spit it out, this can be repeated several times

They love bananas, apples, pears, plums,strawberries,carrots, broccoli and cooked potatoes. They don't like citrus fruits, celeriac or Savoy cabbage for some strange reason. We've never had much luck with them accepting brewer's wort which was free round here a few years ago.
Get some Tamworth. Great fun to have, taste great, and come killing time you'll be glad the feckers are going!
There should be many more of us keeping a few pigs.
You do know that there's a whole section on here about pigs...

I've got 320 acres and I won't spare them a bit to trash either. Pigs can be perfectly happy indoors too.
Well done you.I've got 320 acres and I won't spare them a bit to trash either. Pigs can be perfectly happy indoors too.
I'd rather have mine outdoors trashing a bit of ground that needs levelled out anyway, getting some excercise and some extra feed out of the ground and never having to handle their muck.
I hate having them indoors.

Don't have pigs in the winter is the answer!
