Not Eating

[bairn22]

Hoping this is the best place to ask? My two piggies, Pixie and Primrose have moved from a cage to a hutch outside. Their cage was indoors and was far too small for them. They now live in a two storey hutch. They moved a few days ago and since then have not eaten any hay, pellets of veg, although they have been in the run for a several hours on Sunday, they were munching on grass. I did everything I could think of to make the move easy for them. They seem okay, chatting and okay to be held for cuddles but should I be worried with the not eating. We are now on day 3. I am going to weigh them tonight but how long should I leave it until I take them to the Vet? They are still pooing and weeing as normal. Is this down to stress of a new environment, I thought I has made it as stress free as possible for them.

Please weigh them. If they are pooing and eating as normal and their weight is stable, it seems that they are getting plenty of fresh, juicy grass and are not needing to eat fresh veg.
