FW: [Gpdd] [CARE] Not eating enough

[Nancy Tuffli]

Teresa,

My vet said my adult pigge should eat about 1/4 cup of pellets a day.  Hay 
is really good for them so you might want to try giving one carrot instead 
of two to encourage more hay.  Please see what others think as well.

Good luck!
Nancy
