Science Selective Feeders Help?!

[hananhlou980]

Anyone that feeds science selective how much do you feed daily and how old are your piggies? I have 2 boys at the moment that are around 4 months old and wondering how much i should be feeding them. They had ad lib when i first got them as they were both fairly skinny but now theyve put some weight on i feel like i shouldnt be giving them quite as much thanks!

It's 40g or unlimited per piggie up until they are 6 months. Scroll down to pellets on the link and it tells you on there

I usually feed unlimited pellets up until 6 months unless they are getting too porky then I gradually cut down to around half a Gu pot (glass ramekin that came with yummy Gu pud in...!) between 2 per day. This is standard, I monitor their weights regularly and up it or cut some out depending on that e.g. in winter I might add a bit more as they are using more energy to keep warm. If you keep an eye on weight and adjust accordingly you should be ok as long as they are eating plenty of hay as well (no good filling up on pellets and eating less hay)

When mine were diddy up till about the six month mark (wasn't exact) I fed it unlimited but now I feed just below one egg cup per piggy per day. Although my more portly piggies have theirs every other day.
