  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0 Re: How much food do you give to your piggies? | |
Your pigs would benefit from some major changes in diet. They need unlimited grass hay if you aren't already providing it. They also need a good veggie diet (not just carrots but other things) and a major cutback on pellets.
Pellets are the least part of any pigs diet. They don't need very many. Pigs over 6 months should get limited pellets, unlimited grass hay such as timothy, bermuda, bluegrass, brome, orchard, sweet meadow, etc. and a good veggie salad made up of primarily leafy greens like lettuces, cilantro (coriander), bell pepper, etc. Carrots are a treat veggie and no more than one baby carrot or equivalent of a regular sized carrot per day. They aren't very nutritious.
Please see the nutrition charts and sample menu's sticky threads for more info on what a good diet is. |
