[Gpdd] HEALTH: Heavy pigs

Hi!
It is my opinion, through observation that it is better if the gp is a
bit on the heavy side. Because, if they get ill, they have those
reserves to fall back on, in between the time when they are hiding that
they are ill, and when you figure out they are. Even if you are fairly
vigalent about watching how much they eat and when, you are bound to
miss the clues of the illness for a few days.  So many times when one
figures out their piggy is sick, it is nearly too late.
To add- cleaning their cage every day also keeps one in better touch
with their piggies habits- poos, eating and otherwise.

Update -Piglet diving into carrot when a week ago he snubbed them....a
usual favorite.
