I was really silly and gave my 3 a mixed salad bag to eat between them yesterday and that was on top of their normal breakfast. Well now all 3 piggies have soft poop 😞

I have taken them off veg so feel really guilty but can you please send healing vibes that their tummies get better soon?

Bad piggy mum
 
Oh dear, healing wheeks for your piggy tummies, that does sound rather a lot of veg! My lot share a bag of mixed salad between 8 of them on a saturday and that's still plenty leaves each! X
 
Best wishes for their tummies, hope their poos get back to normal very soon.

I bought some bistro salad this afternoon and fed them a little bit. Was tempted to give them more; I'm glad I didn't, it's so easy to give more treats than are good for them. Even though they might protest loudly!
 
I think you all need more piggies, I used to overfeed veg a lot I think when we only had 2 or 3, and before Puggle got bloat and we started being very strict with portions... now there are 8 piggies its impossible to get enough in 1 packet of anything to over indulge them :)

Love this! In fact I think more piggies might just be the answer to every problem!
 
I did the same with Bernie, too much coriandor, I felt generous on the day, he had soft dumps in the evening, overnight he was back to normal

Poor you! I hope that they will be OK again by tomorrow on a dry food diet.
 
We’ve all done it at some point @Claire W. All will be well in a few days but in the meantime they’ll be very grouchy at a dry diet and no treats.
 
Last time this happened to us it was Ollie pigwig, he ate Tallulah's broccolli as well as his own... then when piggy daddy got home after I was asleep Ollie was begging for a snack so piggy daddy gave him... a 3rd helping of broccolli! That was some foul smelling clumpy wet poops, Tallulah went to sleep in the haytray rather than go in any snugglesacks or tunnels Ollie had been in! 2 days of dry food only then starting with just peppers and cucumber and no leafy stuff for the rest of the week set him right though :)

Poos are starting to firm up but they're not happy at not having any breakfast 😢 I'm sure they'll forgive me though

They’ll forgive you x definitely better than them feeling rubbish with the runs! Yep we’ve definitely all done it! xx
 
My lot start asking for their veg dinner around 5.30 when they know they get it around 7ish. When they have chomped their way through dindins they are obviously completely starving and haven't been fed in years and want dindins all over again!:doh::hb:. They always have loads of hay so they can eat that.
