What should my potbelly pig's weight be? I'm worried that she's eating too much and gaining too much weight. How much should she be eating?

Pigs grow at different rates, so it is very difficult to say your pig should weigh X pounds at X age. Adult pot bellied pigs can reach 200lbs. You can feed her a commercial pig chow. It should be a maintenance formula not a pig starter. Common brands include Mazuri, Manna Pro and Heartland. Penelope can eat 1.5-2 cups of chow daily. Divide into two feedings. Additionally, fresh vegetables should make up about 25℅ of her diet.

An average weight for a fullgrown potbelly pig is around 120 to 150lbs, however, the weight span is as low as 100lbs and as high as 220lbs. Feed her regular pig food, not stuff from the pet shop. at 4 months she is still growing and should not weigh more than 35 to 40 lbs. Anything bigger than that ans she would be definitely too fat. If she needs to lose weight, , go for long walks with her. Here are some websites, which I found helpful: http://www.9sites.org/pigrescue/adoptionchecklist.htm http://potbellypigs.com/wordpress1/
