I have two new boys who are settling in well. I posted before about the dominance behaviours but these have now calmed down a lot, as they have got used to their new home.
I think I have been guilty of over feeding veggies, as I have interpreted ' a cupful' as being quite a large cup, whereas I think I remember a proper US cup measure is actually pretty small. They eat fresh grass on top of their veggies and of course a huge amount of hay. They don't get pellets regularly, just as a treat, as I'd prefer them to eat more hay and I had a low calcium piggy who recently died, so pellets were not recommended.
So, I was wondering whether the correct amount of veggies is listed as a weight anywhere, rather than a volume, so I can start my new boys on the correct amount.
