I gave her some dried fruit too I forgot, is this wrong could I have given her something bad??? Please email me ASAP


Answer
Hi

As far as I am concerned you havent given your pig anything wrong. However, lots of lettuce can cause an upset stomache so it might be that your pig is fidgety because she needs the loo.

If you are really concerned, get a vet check her out. If there are any other factors you think of please let me know.
