Weighing Out Pellets.

[squigglies]

I've been meaning to post this Q for a while. Do people feed the recommended amount of pellets for per pig. Without looking at the packaging I don't know the amount but the egg cup I use, measures the correct amount of pellets so should I be putting in 2 egg cup fulls as I have two pigs. As someone with say 5 would they put in 5 egg cup fulls? Or is this over feeding? Does this make sense! Just out of curiosity.

I'm mildly ashamed to admit that I don't measure! I can see our boys benefit from having freedom to graze. They don't over stuff though, luckily.
I'd say if one egg cup = one piggy, you could put in two egg cups. Feeding them separately? Pellets are surprisingly tricky to sort, considering how little they make up of a piggy's diet!

i have some stay bowls,that apparently holds the correct amount of pellets for two piggies,they seem to like using these.in my ceramic bowls i use the guidelines of an egg cup for each piggie.

I scatter feed around 10 pellets (they are quite big)
