Hi,
I've had my pigs 3 weeks now and still trying to figure out the best way to feed them a mixture of hay, veg and pellets. I have chronic pain & fatigue, so there's a lot of inconsistency in my days (especially sleep pattern) but I work 1pm-6pm every week day. I've been experimenting with different feeding schedules but need to settle for their sake. So this is my proposed plan (let me know if this sounds OK):
Morning: Fresh Hay
Lunchtime, just before work: Veg (celery, spinach, pepper)
Evening: Pep up hay with Readigrass - they seem to forget about it / get bored of it so my vet suggested this.
Pellets here and there throughout the day. I like to hand-feed these as it feels bonding and when I put pellets in a bowl, they aren't interested, but they LOVE eating them as treats one at a time.
How does this sound? Could I do half their daily veg amount at lunchtime and the rest in the evening? We tend to have some quiet snuggle time in the evening and I like to give them their favourite veg whilst I pet them, especially after the stress of being picked up.
