Chipy is hilarious. He had his teeth trimmed last Tuesday and I've been feeding him differnet types of babyfood. He loves butternut squash so much that when I took too long getting it in the syringe he would start wheeking! He was sitting on my lap wheeking at me. LOL. So funny.

Yesterday he ate half a jar of baby food in one sitting ?/ Is this too much?

And some great news is that tonight he was able to eat grated carrot again! First time since his surgery on his teeth. ANd he is able to eat pellets. I'm so incredibily happy! I was so worried about him having surgery as he is 6 years old.

Ive always gone until they where finished, so must be fine since they are always grazing when the teefies are fine

My old Rex pig (RIP) ate about 1 and a half packets of recovery plus or the vegetable smoothies I made him which he loved until I had to PTS :'(

Is he just eating the baby food and grated carrot?

My concern would be that he's not getting enough fibre. Do you have critical care or similar? You could either add the CC to the baby food, or alternate between a syringe of baby food and a syringe of CC.
 
Is he eating any hay...?
Might be worth while picking up some fibre plex if you don't have any... You can get it from the vets and it's great stuff for poorly piggies...
It's in a big syringe and you just give one turn per kg...
