Can fresh grass replace veggies?
I moved 2 months ago to my current house and it has a garden. The grass is safe and has no pesticides (Some plants are getting bugs but I'm afraid of ruining the grass!) The piggys love grass over any other veggies and ask for more food when I don't give it to them. My question is if I could feed them just grass for breakfast and give them veggies for dinner.

You can give grass in addition to veggies, but I don't think it should take the place of grass. And introduce the grass slowly so their systems can get used to it, if they haven't had it much before.
I had a grass question that I'll add on here to avoid clutter.
Is there anything I should be careful of when giving grass for the first time? I finally found a grass source that is clean and pesticide free! The owners don't cut it ever so it's nice and long and green.
As far as I know, the pigs have never had any grass to eat. How much should I give them to start off? How long does it take them to get adjusted? Should I watch anything else besides their poops? (I'm thinking of gas.)

Ditto Lynx. Introduce the grass slowly if they are not used to it. It can cause digestive upset.
