Re: She's getting fat..
Reminds me, did you have a weight for your hog? You said she was overweight, so was wondering about weights

That isn't bad, Bodhi was 320g at 11 weeks, and is about 360-390g on average now at 9 months. In the first few months, hogs gain weight really quickly, then once they get their wheel, it starts to level out (or should). It is after they've been wheeling a few weeks that you need to start keeping an eye on their intake vs weight to see if there is a problem.
Although weight isn't the only thing - chubby back legs are okay, but they need to be able to ball up. Hogs that can't ball up properly are too fat, but some big-boned hogs can ball perfectly well at 500g. Some hogs are bigger than others, or rather, are less 'pygmy'.
I wouldn't worry about her weight if she's only 300g - start worrying at about 450g
