We have had 2 eight week old pigs come to us. Both were very differnet in appetites. The last one we got about 4 days ago eats like a horse. She just can't get enough. Holly is very hungry. Muffy came to us she ate very little, but was active. She drank a lot of water. We supplement all our piggies vit. C. We use a small syringe and give it to them in tap water. The little ones get it in small amounts. I know we don't have to do this, but I like to know that they are getting enough. We also have a litter of 4 two weeks old. Each one eats differently. If you are concerned call where you got it or take it to a vet for a checkup. My guess if it is active and acting right, then i wouldn't worry unless you see abnormal behavior or stool droppings. It may just take some time to adjust to the new routine. Try some watermelon as a special treat with the rind. Hope that helps. The bilots
