Feeding debate...

[PAMELAKT]

Hi guys, I keep asking feeding questions I'm sorry! The people I got my boys from say they should have one bowl of veg between them once a day. But I have read on here people give a cup (regular tea cup?) twice a day as in one cup per pig.

Can I confirm what ppl with 2 pigs are feeding veg wise? I have 2 8 week old Rex boys who are growing by the millisecond! I've been giving them a cup of veg each per day, mixed veg. Plus unlimited hay & burgess pellets.

Am I ok or over doing it?

Approx one good teacupful, per day, per pig. We split that into two servings though. (I do breakfast and tea, but whatever suits your family routine is fine.) xx

So I'm ok then, I give one cup for breakfast then another for dinner with a nice mix in. And being babies doesn't mean they should have less?

Maybe a bit less for babies. Depends on their background really. Any babies I have had, have had veggies from day 1 birth, so are used to them. Sometimes If piggies come from a breeder, petshop, etc., not as many/if any veg given, so you will need to break them in gradually. xx

I think they've only really had kale & carrot they're a little reluctant to try new things but are getting better now. They've not had the runs so I must be doing ok.... Thank you!
