So i know a young pig like my peppa who is 6 months old need unlimited dry food but as she lives with sparkles who is 2 that means she also gets unlimited dry food is that ok? Sparkles has put on a little weight but nothing much so maybe she just don't eat it.
 
I only found out a little while ago older pigs don't need unlimited food, but i still give them all unlimited anyways and never have a problem with it, so i don't think it will effect your piggy too much, maybe gain a little weight, but that will keep your pig cosy in winter ;) haha,
 
All 4 of mine are all different ages and i always give them unlimited, non are overweight or unhealthy x
 
Same here. I have a 5 year old, 4.5 year old and two 2 year olds. They have two bowls of dry food in the morning (1 guinea pig crunch, 1 nuggets) and they are all perfectly fine. They hardly ever clear the bowls anyway but if they did, I would give them another handful rolleyes None of them are overweight.
 
Same here, I don't think it does any harm, it would also be really difficult to feed them seperately. As long as they're fed a good quality food and unlimited hay on top then its all good.
