I give my piggies half a cup of veggies a day, that’s the vet’s recommendation. I see that some of you recommend a whole cup so I would like some advice on that topic. I did try a cup, though my 2 year old can’t process all the water and will get soft poos even when I introduced her the veggies slowly.
 
One cup per pig per day is the recommendation. However you also need to find what works for your piggies.
I personally feed a little more than one cup per pig, along with lots of access to grass (sometimes being on the lawn for up 14 hours a day - always with access to plenty of hay) without issue
 
It’s a bit like recommended diet and calorie intake for humans - it varies from person to person. Plus depending how you chop your veggies a cup can hold more than envisaged.
