Hi, need help Trying to fatten up Punky. His weight falls when he gets stressed (happened a couple of times so far, always climbs up again). We have had 4 new additions to the group, which we have tried to rehome but it looks like we're keeping, and have extended the run - so 2 recent stresses. Punky's eyesight is very poor due to cateracts he has always had, and this puts him at a big disadvantage in the group whenever the group or the run changes. He has lost more weight then usual this time, and weighs 700gms. He is a small piggie, and 900gms would be a good weight for him. As he is looking lively and healthy and normal in every other way, so trying to get his weight to climb ourselves over the next 4 or 5 days before we take a stressful trip to the vet. Have blocked off a small section of the c & c run so other piggies don't nick his treats, and we can monitor his food intake.
Looking for ideas on foods to help him put on weight, and anything else to be aware off.
