Dear old Blighty UK
Seeing that babies are supposed to have extra calcium etc, & there is special food for them fortified with it, but not suitable for adult piggies, how do you feed the babies with the junior food whilst they are still with their mum & you don't want her stuffing her face with it? :))

Same goes for the alfalfa hay, good for little ones not suitable for adults, so do you have to keep them separate from mum & give them separate food? I hope someone can answer as I dearly want the Mum & daughter to stay together permanently :)
 
I just fed Esme unlimited hay, nuggets and then of course some veggies. She grew up fine - I haven't fed any of my pigs alpha hay or nuggets before.
 
I have a baby GP and ault one as well and there is a little house where only little one can get into and I put there alfa alfa hay:)
