I don't know of any issues with pigs digesting peas, perhaps he just was a little gluttonous?

If he shows signs of distress or acting off, by all means go to a vet. If he seems fine just a bit pudgier, I'd just keep a watchful eye.

The USDA promoted wild native persimmons a century ago. Get the ebook:
