I got her in august.

She only really eats her cat biscuits.
Occasionally she has egg, ham or frankfurters and wet cat food but thats maybe once or twice a week.

Thing is she loves her wheel she goes on it most of the night so its not like she doesnt exercise lol

She maybe just a big hoggie ... I don't give mine ham or frankfurters .. not sure if that is ok to give them . I personally also steer clear of wet cat food i think it makes them quite smelly.
I use cat biscuits chicken breast peas cauliflower . carrots , mince . scrambled egg no milk strawberries banana ..and of course their mealies . I think most people stay clear of processed foods .x

If im wrong about the frankfurters and ham im sure someone will come along and correct me . lol!

Oh ok I know you can give them meat I just assumed ham and frankfurters were ok, wont be using them then.

She doesnt seem to eat her veg I have tried on several occasions but she leaves them and eats everything else.

I do give her chicken and beef when we have it.
She loves banana but doesnt really like other fruit.
Not sure what she was used to from the other owner.

She was used as a breeding hog but was unwanted due to her eating all her babies poor girl.

Yeah when I got her she was very huffy and still is occasionally so she definitely can roll up tight in a ball.

If she can ball she may just be like my Dolly Pudding .... she is a large hog .. x

I have 3 regular time of biscuits for my hogs so they don't get to bored .. try looking at the sticky note in the diet/ food section .. it may help with some other foods you can give but deffo stay clear of processed meats .x

Ok she doesnt like potatoes, will only eat a very small amount of peas and sweetcorn.
But will keep trying.

So you think I should keep her food intake the way it is?

She has a double cat bowl that has water in one the the biscuits in the other the water lasts her about half the week its weird it stays full for like 3 days then I look at it two days later and its all gone :S. And with her food it will last a week or a bit more.
