Our piggies get two handfuls of piggy museli in the morning and as much hay as they want. I then give them a little fingers height of carrot/cucumber each or a bowl of greens in the evening. They also get occasional grapes, banana and other fruit and veg

This was what our vet told us to give them as Biscuit looked a little podgy! I do keep an eye on their weight, but can I feed them any more fresh food than this? They love it and Gizmo wheeks so hard his ears flap when he's begging, so I don't know if he's just being a begging piggy or if they are really hungry or could do with a bit more variety in their diet.

Any ideas welcome - they are about 7 months old now and I don't want to keep feeding them the same stuff or starve them, but I don't want to overfeed them either.
 
Ah love. What you are feeding them is great - you can feed them a little more - if you notice that there is lots left over by the morning then they are having too much :)

Piggies stop eating once they have had enough :)
 
Thats good! I love feeding them :smitten: However, I'm yet to meet the piece of food that Biscuit leaves!

Thanks for that. I'm going ahead with the plan to make them some grape popsicles for this evening now and see how that goes down.
 
Aww what a great idea :) I have made some fruit/veg ice lollies for them in the past but never used grape :D Probably go down better! :)

That is what i do, they get heaps and what they don't eat i take out , and i must say that is not very offten, i guess they are call piggies for a reason ;D
 
well at 12 weeks my pigs finished of a whole carrot ok and they need more now but its like humans some people eat more some people eat less same as guinea pigs try giving them a reasonable amount of food if it goes try giving them a bit more not too much though :) O0 ;)
