Science selective grain free pellets. I also have a Guinea pig with bladder issues, and she is fine on these.

Cut out kale, Parsley, spinach. I also found dill to upset her bladder.
Run all veg under tap water to make it extra moist when feeding it. Filter your water is a must do now. That's all I can think of

I still feed my bladder issue sow -

Red and green bel pepper.
Coriandor.
Parsnip.
Cucumber is really good, mostly water.
Radichio.
Once a week a ring of carrot.

1 tablespoon of grain free pellets per day.

And the rest hay

There is a section in the guide below with details of how to feed a bladder piggy. Avoid things such as spinach, kale, parsley - these are all high calcium foods.
A grain free pellet, such as science selective grain free would be my recommendation, also ensuring that pellets are kept to the recommended one tablespoon per day.
Also ensure that, if you live in a hard water, that their drinking water is filtered.

How long would a bag of the since selective last 3 piggies? Roughly how many grams each a day? x

i got a 1.5kg bag two months ago and itll still last me another month, I’d say, with two piggies.
They only need one tablespoon of pellets per pig per day.

Yes it does look enough. Pellets are the smallest part of their diet at just 5% of their daily food intake, they do not need many at all. Pellets are basically piggy junk food
