| Re: Want to make sure I'm feeding correctly You are doing a good job and I don't think you are feeding too much.
You have some things that concern me though in your base and in your add in menu.
Base: Kale is on the chart as a 1-2 times per week. You said you feed it 2-3 times per day. You need to cut that down to 1-2 times per week. Kale is very high in A (according to the chart).
Peppers really should be fed. One person got their piggies eating peppers by rubbing the flavor of pepper on their favorite lettuce. After a few times of that when they put in the pepper the piggies ate it right up.
Add ins: Carrots don't have to be shredded, but you can. Make sure you are not feeding any more than 1 small baby carrot per day.
Orange slice or grape ~ fruit should be a treat to be given only 2-3 times per week at the most. Fruit is very high in sugar.
As for the hay, I check my hay every day and take out anything wet of dirty. Hay can mold very quickly if it gets wet!
Your pellet serving is just fine. I think that is about what I feed mine, too. 1/8 cup per pig per day is what it should be, so if you are feeding about a cup per week per pig you are fine! |
