  Not Ranked. Helpful AND tactful post? : 0
One of my sweet little piggies is not eating his hay. I gave him fresh hay last night and usually by brekkie he'll need more, but it didn't look liked it had been touched. When I came home from work this evening, the hay was still there. He is eating his vegetables happily and is still drinking water. Do I need to be worried about this?       |

It's the same timothy hay I've always given him. My other little piggy is munching along with no problems. |

Are you weighing him? You need to see if he is losing weight. Do his teeth look ok? |

I wold definitely consider having his teeth, including molars, checked. Veggies are softer and less work to chew. Going off his normal hay makes me think he has a sore tooth in there somewhere. Is he eating pellets? |

I somehow missed this thread before. He needs to see a vet, he will probably need to have x-rays done and will need to have his molars checked. |
