Question
i just wanted to know how much a pbp should weigh at 4.5 months...thanks so much

Answer
The average healthy piglet should gain about 1 lb per week, give or take a few ounces. 4.5 months = 18 weeks, so piggy should weigh about 18 lbs, give or take a pound or two. Piglets should get 1/2 cup pot-bellied pig food per 15 lb of piglet. A 18 lb piglet should be getting roughly 5/8 cup per day, divided into two meals. Supplement this with plenty of outdoor grazing time and fresh veggies and fruits.
