Big appetite

[xx_sheena_xx]

My IRN eats a huge amount of food.
She is four months old and eats more then my two outdoos IRN's.
Im wondering if its normal for them to eat so much at a young age.

My IRN was a huge pig until he reached a few years of age. All of a sudden, his brother became the pig and Hane slimmed down. I try to give him plenty of exercise and encourage flapping- we sort of have a game where I say 'wheeeeee!' and drop my hand at just the right pace for him to begin flapping as my hand lowers with him on it. I also try to keep his diet high in veggies- foods that are not very fattening and never ever give him 'junk' food A.K.A. 'human food' as in the processed foods we eat.

So the short answer? It is completely normal for a young IRN to masquerade as a pig!
