can anyone tell me what is an acceptable weight for my girls- aged 4and half months, I dont want them to get too fat especially if Im gonna breed. they are soo greedy!! and eat everything in site!! they always have fresh hay and burgess excell, ready grass and loads of vegetables.
Also my boys drink loads but the girls hardly drink anything, is this normal? in hoping they get enough moisture from the veg
thanx

while some piggies drink loads others drink barely at all its all to do with the actual pig, remember they get lots of fluid from there veg to, I wouldn't worry unless its excessive drinking ie. you have to refill bottle several times a day, sometimes when there popcorning they shake the cage so much the water bottle leaks into there bedding
