If you sprinkle a white cake mix on the feed they will eat it. That's what a lot of people do at the shows to keep them on feed since their stressed out.

Yeah, cake mix works, but don't get that started if you can help it because once you start, the pigs usually go off feed unless you feed it consistently. But if you've got time and pounds to spare, feed it when you need it but then wean them from it right away.
Been there....

My pigs that I am pushing love the strawberry quick. Sometimes just use it as a the powder and other times make a glass with water and pour into feed. I can always get them to eat a bit more this way.
