How often do I feed...

Question
I just got my first micro mini piggy.. his name is hamlet :)  He is still on the bottle was 2 weeks old last friday.  How often should I be feeding him?  Seems like he gets loud and wants some bottle but doesn't take much each time but he gets a little bit several times a day... he is gaining weight but just wanted to make sure I was feeding him enough... thank you :)

Answer
Hello,
Please take him back to his mother until he is at least 6 weeks old.  then he should be weaned and eating piglet pellets for at least 2 weeks before you take him home with you.

Shame on the breeder who sent him off to you at this age!
