I've noticed the piggies poo's are a bit softer than normal lately sometimes I think they are eating half and leaving some they only get a teapcup full of veg daily is this enough or too much? Their poos seem smaller also, like shorter pellets.
 
The minimum amount of veggies per day is a handful, so a teacup for each pig is fine. What veggies are you feeding? Some veggies/fruits do contribute to the condition of the poops.

Have they been put out on the grass at all, or for the first time very recently? Change in dry food? Drinking okay?

No change in dried food they mostly have carrot tops/carrrots/spinach/round lettuce
 
I have noticed sometimes that small softer poos can be due to amount of hay they are getting. Do they have plenty or have you changed the type of hay lately (they could be not eating as much if they don't like it)
