| Debate on Veggie amount People on here say 1 cup per pig per day... although now I have a third pig (14 days old today!) and obviously smaller than the rest, she gobbles up veggies really well but obviously Marley and Bean must need more than her. The vet gave me a sheet that said 1 cup per 4pounds ...
So I'm really confused. I don't really know if I'm giving them enough. What I've basically been giving them daily is a full plate of romaine lettuce, cilantro, green and yellow bell peppers, and usually 3 baby carrots for each of them (I have to go pick up more carrots though, so the past few days that hasn't been on the menu) --- I give them a paper plate full in the morning and a paper plate full in the evening.
I mean it looks like a good amount but I don't know if it really is for three pigs. Especially since the baby is getting bigger (270g already).
However I'm worried to give too much as it could cause diarrhea. I mean how do we really know when it's too much? Plus, they all tend to steal from each other, so I don't know if one pig is getting more than the other.
So I know this has probably been posted before but I'd really like to know if my amounts seem good. Usually I will also throw them a few more small cut up pieces of pepper before I go to bed as a snack to get through the night. |
