mm.. my piggy weight about 2.8lbs, and they are grils, are they too fat? and what can I do if they are too fat?
 
Unless you are overindulging your piggies with too many treats and fruits, and they have no room to exercise, your piggies are not to fat. If they are being fed properly and have adequate space with the occasional treat then all is okay.
 
I love chubby piggies! My biggest is only 2.18 pounds, and my smallest, 1.1
 
my cage is about 2x8+2x2 in a L-shape, and for food, I give them unlimted dry food and hay. I feed them veggie 2 times a day, never fruit, just carrots lettures, and veggies. Should I cut back on the veggie?
 
No, is ounds like to me that your piggies were just born overweight. I love fat piggies. Coco is so fat that the vet thought she was pregnant.lol
 
Same with my Simon! I was seriously wondering if I had mis-sexed him for awhile, but he's just a chubby piggy... so cute though!

Sounds like you are doing a great job. No worries here. Watch out for to many carrots. A small piece twice a week is fine. High in vitamin A, bad for kidneys. Just in case you didnt know.
