I have two almost ready to go but as my OH can't get time off till the middle of May how do I feed them to stop them getting too fat without them screaming for food. They are a year old in May. I have been feeding sow and weaners twice a day and carrots.

That's a difficult one. If you cut the food back then their instincts tell them lean times are ahead - same as in the leaner months in the wild - so they initially lay down more fat. And as you say they will be very vocal. Could someone else take them in for you?
