How to put one pig on a diet and not the other ?

[twiams]

I have a pair of piggies, one is overweight, Chester, and i know this will effect his health, his partner, Bentley, is alot thinner and has no problem with his diet etc. is there anyway i can start getting Chester to loose weight without effecting Bentley ?

The best way is to reduce nuggets. Take the nuggets out of their cage ( or only supply a very small amount that will keep Chester happy but not overstuffed) and take Bentley out every day for a separate nugget feed so that he can eat as much as he wants undisturbed, that's the only way I managed it with Yoshi and Moonpig ( Yoshi had to lose weight and Moonpig needed to gain some). Keep an eye on any rapid weight gain, it turned out that Yoshi had an underactive thyroid.

Hi and one thing you could try is when you're doing playtime........ get Chester to do a bit more exercise......take him out and let him run to a pigloo or hidey as a challenge, but just don't stress him out make it fun
