Answer
She is about 4 weeks too young to be away from her siblings, so you have plenty of time to train.
About a half cup per day of pb pig feed will suit her at this tender age. At one year, one cup 2x per day works. Feeding her less may make her small, but depriving her will make her weak and sick. Bad breeders do that!
