Do piggies put on weight in winter? My two girls seem quite porky?

Perhaps I am overfeeding them, they are always on the hunt for food!

They do not put on extra weight in the winter months.Piggies vary in weight as humans do./Some remain around the 2lb mark,others can go to nearly 4 lbs.It does not make any difference to the health.Piggies cannot really be overweight as such,but if they do not get enough excercise they can become flabby.I prefer my pigs to be heavier rather than lighter,because when they are sick or have a dental problem they can lose weight very quickly.
