Hello all
So my situation currently is that one of my piggies have had soft stinky poo that are small. I've checked her weight, which was the same as last week, and she's actually gaining a little bit. I wanted to remove vegetables for a day or two see how it's coping. But then how do i introduce vegetables back in their diets?
Thank you for reading
 
You wait for at least 24-48 hours until the poos have normalised before restarting with fresh food again.

Switch from the usual weighing weekly to weighing once daily at the same time in the feeding cycle until you are sure that your piggy is fine with all veg back in the diet.
Weight - Monitoring and Management

Start with feeding fresh herbs in the first meal. Then add the greens to the herbs in the next meal. If she is still fine, then you can try a normal veg feed; always leave watery veg like cucumber, celery and lettuce until last in reintroductions.

See a vet if problems recur.
