So, if I didn't know Bean and Marley were girls (Marley obviously being a mom to Freya) I would really think Freya was pregnant, and far along pregnant. I'm going to have to post a picture of her later. It's really weird because she's definitely got that pear shape and her belly is just so fat. But she's been with Marley and Bean since birth and Bean was checked over and over... and Freya is 9 months now, so I'm sure if some freak accident of missexing happened with Bean I would've had a lot of other babies by this point....
Now, I know people say pigs can come in a variety of sizes and weights... some people saying their pigs have gotten up to 2-4 pounds... I believe Freya isn't actually that much over 1000 grams, but I have to check again.... I'm just wondering do you people who have big pigs have fat in the stomach pigs, or just large sized pigs?
Should I be concerned with possible heath issues if she's got a fat stomach?
I feed them 3 romaine leaves (one each) morning and night, as well as about a handful of cut up peppers in the morning and night, 1 baby carrot each every morning, about a handful of cilantro morning and night. Those are the main daily veggies in their diet. I've gone into discussions with certain people about this on here in the past and I have no idea how people on here know EXACTLY what they should be eating and EXACTLY how much. Romaine, peppers, cilantro from all I've read on here seem like the "big daily 3" but then I also get at least once a week or every other week parsley, celery, tomato, kale.
I know both parsley and kale are important too, correct? But they are on limited amount right? Parsley and kale should be given every other day of each other, correct? I'd like to start getting more of that.
Sometimes I think I'm not giving them enough of the romaine, peppers, cilantro as they should be getting as there are 3 of them, but I've gone by what I've read on here, and as I said, Freya seems to be a little hefty at least in comparison to the others. I do keep their pellets (oxbow) full throughout the day but they only have one of those plastic bowls you can find at retail pet stores, and obviously constant timothy hay.
Anyway, sorry for the lengthy post, mine always seem to be long, but just wondering about people's pig's tummy sizes, possible health risks of them having big bellies, and food ration sizes being right. Thanks
Edit: Please don't respond with "Romaine, peppers, cilantro is not enough for their daily diet" as I said there are other vegetables I give them throughout the week, just not daily.
