Re: a couple of questions...

Hi Pauli! Droppings that are just a bit soft is usually okay, and are probably due to the increase in veggies. It happens to my two girls every once in a while, so I just cut back a bit, but don't completely stop giving them. This can also happen if you introduce too many new veggies at once - one's they aren't used to. Their little bellies can't handle it. The increase in pee can also be due to a lot of veggies - vegetables & fresh foods have a lot of moisture in them, hence more pee.

Hope this helps! Just keep an eye on them...if the droppings become really liquidy, or don't improve, I would take them to the vet just to be safe. Better to be safe than sorry.

By the way, you have such cute pigs! I love the ears in the first picture.
