Little help please

This is a potbelly. Or can it go off of regular baby pigs? I've just been looking at the potbelly part since that's what they are.

So for 4oz I need to add 1/3 cup of formula?

 

[Mouse14]

She acts like the nipple is too big? She bites sideways at it? Will she do that until she gets used to it? It took her forever to drink half an ounce through the bottle

I'm on my phone now so not sure what label that was from but this is from ultra 24 valley vet web site.

FOR PIGS day 6-10.

Mix 3⁄4 cup (2.63 dry oz) of powder into 2 cups of warm water. Offer 1.5 to 2.5 (24 to 40 uid oz) pints per pig twice daily, free choice.

Reduce that by half for mini pig

That label was on the back of the formula. It has pigs and then potbelly but the potbelly tab doesn't have instructions. The regular pig label does. It said 3/4 cup to 16oz and if I cut that into thirds it'd be 1/3 to 4 oz?

So technically the same thing lol. It looks about right with how I was mixing it without measuring!

I only cut it in 3rd bc the bottle only holds 8oz and that was without formula plus she is so small she drinks 1-3 oz every few hours so I can use about 6oz without having to make a new batch

It said 3/4 cup to 16oz and if I cut that into thirds it'd be 1/3 to 4 oz?

That's one thing I hate about our system of measuring things. It would be 1/4 cup to 5.3 ounces so your 1/3 to 4 is a little rich. I would go 1/4 cup to 5 ounces.

I am measurement illiterate! Lol! I hate it! Alright I'll do that. I hate that about 3 oz gets wasted. You aren't suppose to refrigerate after rewarming right? That's how I've been doing it refrigerating it once the dumping after the second use.
