Vegetables: Can they be fed more veggies?

[La.mom]

Max is now 7 months. I was giving him oxbow pellets, 1/4c and read i should give him 1/8c. I was giving him 1c veggies twice a day. 1 carrot during the day. 1 Fruit twice a week during the day. I try to spread the food out thru the day. I read i should give him 1c veggies a day. He's always hungry seems like. Question is do i have to give only 1c veggies or can he have more. Would'nt touch the veggies at first now he's a little pig. Also should he have food in his cage during the night. Its usually all gone. Has all the hay he can chew in his cage as well. Thanks

He can have more as long as you feed according to the charts. One cup is the minimum. If he has unlimited hay during the night (and water), that is sufficient.

What a lot of people do is 1 cup of leafy greens (lettuce, parsley, cilantro, kale etc. based on the charts) then a second cup or so of other veggies.

I'm sure that my three little pigs have at least 2 cups of veggies each per day. I have a bowl that I fill up with their salad and dump it in their cage twice a day. It looks like at least 3 cups when I dump it in the cage.

I have a 2/3 cup scoop (which is more than 1/8 cup per pig, but less than 1/4 cup) that I use, but they don't usually eat it all in one day. Ly's recommendation is 1/8 - 1/4 cup of pellets per day.

You can feed up to 1/4 cup of pellets like KM's or Oxbow per pig.

I believe 2/3 is more than 1/4.

You can feed more veggies, the minimum if 1 cup per day. But you may want to watch for signs of soft poo and if that happens then cut back a bit on the veggies.
