I’m getting myself a bit confused to making sure I am feeding my boys the correct amount of veg.

so if I slice cucumber and take romaine leaves what would be the number of slices and leaves for a portion per pig. Due to the weight of a leaf not really making up much grams. But too many may be too watery. Not doing carrot today as had that yesterday.

because of my 3 board there are3 bowls of food including pellets. I guess there is no way for me to know each pig is eating their fill or if one is a greedy pig and eating more. The pellet measurement were all eaten which were out out this morning.
 
It’s about a cup of veg per pig per day.
There is a sample plate in this guide which can help you with quantities per piggy.

i make up their portions of veg and just scatter it around their cage so that both my two have equal access to it. i don’t use bowls for veg or pellets
 
I do a leaf of lettuce each - I usually buy little gem or...the other one which isn’t too big. If I buy romaine or other large leafs I split one between two pigs. Then one slice of cucumber and pepper, and 1-2 sprigs of coriander. The plate in the link above is a good indicator though.
