I am getting another piggie from a friend whose allergies have finally gotten the best of her. Sundae is a bit plump and much bigger than my piggies. I'm worried she's too plump, any good suggetions to slim her down? I'll weigh her when I get her but until then...

Sundae lives in a house where people smoke and our apartment was smoked in at one time, but isn't currently smoked in. How will the air quality change imact her?

Thanks for any suggestions.

The air quality should be better, which can only be an improvement for her.

You shouldn't make any decisions about putting Sundae on a diet until you actually know how much she weighs. It's very hard for a herbivore to become overweight -- it usually only happens when they're fed too many pellets and/or get too little exercise. Post her weight here, and we'll give you opinions on whether or not she's too heavy.
