I have a question about a pig I will be adopting soon.
She comes from a rescue (the only one even remotely near me and its still around 3 hours away!) where they only feed them 1/4 a cup of just lettuce and cilantro a day.
They try to tell people if you feed than anything else they will die even though I know that's not true.
However I am a bit nervous because I have never had to figure out how to adjust a pig to tons more food! Is there anything I should be doing?
I was going to separate her from her cage mate during food time and very slowly give her more and more veggies (just what she has had before) and once she is eating enough slowly introducing other veggies?
While she is eating the bare minimum I will be giving her oxbow vitamin c tabs to keep her as healthy as possible (she has had a different kind of vitamin c supplement at the rescue)
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! Just want to make sure I'm doing my best for my (future) baby!
