How much pellets per day? Separate pigs during feeding?

[Piggy101]

I read that they should be fed 1/8 cup a day but also saw others say a teaspoon? Also when I feed them in two separate bowls? They both eat from the same bowl even when they are eating from their own bowl at first when I come back they're not. Should I separate them?

Hello,

I give minimum amount of pellets and try to give more veggies. So on the days I give them full a cup and a half of veggies, I skip pellets. Pellets are treated as treats more than as meals. Mine get endless amount of Oxbow hay and a cup to a cup and a half of veggies.

The correct amount of pellets is one tablespoon per pig per day.

Mine have a strict 1 tablespoon of pellets per day per piggy. I don't separate. I also the same bowl for two piggies as mine are pretty good at sharing the same bowl. If you have a piggy who pushed the other(s) away, it is best to have a bowl each at least at a 2 piggy distance away.

I think that it's fine. As long as they aren't fighting and you have separate foods, (pellets and hay at least) It's ok

I feed 1 tablespoon per day. I purely only feed them for the vitamin d. That's it

A table spoon of pellets per piggie

I mean I feed 1 tablespoon per both my pigs per day. But I've tweaked this personally because of a health issue with my girl

You don't have to separate them when feeding. You could consider scatter feeding the pellets. But if they're okay with eating from the same bowl then let them.
