Eating Less In The Cold

[Katiedid]

All 4 of mine have had what I can only describe as a duvet day! The babies have stayed the same weight the 2 oldies have lost 30g each.

I'm not overly worried yet (I will keep an eye on them) but I noticed my boar was shivering when he was having cuddles this morning, I shoved him under my cardie and he warmed up and settled down. The room was cool (we have since heated it but they are still all asleep).

Anyone else's piggies eat less when cold?

Ours pretty much eat the same..... It's fifficult this time of year to know when to get the heating on.. Has been a funny old month, some days freezing others mild

Mine just go under the hay piles. Think they’d eat more to keep system going when colder as fuel gives heat?
