no..you should never starve them!...thats just sick!....but you DO have to feed them what they recommend...or you will be sorry...i know 1 cup a day seems so small...but...its what they need....also, you must give them another cup or so of greens a day(besides the pig feed)....so....starving them will only kll them!..it wont make them stay small...BUT...overfeeding will kill them also....also..its comman sense..look at your pigs shape...they should be peanut (in the shell) shape....wide at the head/shoulders...in some at the waist..and wide again at the rump......if they are round ALL around...they are overweight...and it will catch up with them...very fast...i tried to up my hammies food once when i though he looked thin....i only up'd it by 1/4 a cup a day TOTAL....and he got fat, real fast!...also..some pigs DO need a bit more food a day....use your common sense...just like with any pet....
