    Diabetic Guinea Pig - Diet advice?

    Hey everyone, We unfortunately noticed one of our Guinea Pigs, Cookie, started getting cloudy eyes and after some urine tests the vet suspects cateracts stemming from diabetes :( While we look to confirm this we obviously want to sort the poor girls diet out ASAP, can anyone advise what...

    New diet is working so well, thank you so much!

    As I said in the title, just wanted to thank you all for the great advice! I'm the one who has the piggie with bladder stones (which he peed out on the vet's table a couple weeks ago). These past 2 weeks we have been feeding them lots of grass and fresh forage, and I was even lucky enough to...

Is this right? I have each pig: 2...

    Vegetable Alternative

    I recently decided to start following the sample diet guide by Wiebke, which primarily meant adding a full green bean and small piece of celery to their daily diet. Initially, they both took these vegetables very well, but within the past couple of days, Rose seems to no longer enjoy green bean...

    Frequency of Poop; Medication Not Helping

    A couple weeks ago, I made a post detailing how both my girls' poop had become much lighter in color and was very dry even immediately after being dropped. On top of that, while they had been pooping, it was significantly less than I was used to seeing, especially first thing in the morning...

    Introducing New Foods, Question Re: Lettuce

    I recently decided to start following the sample diet guide. My girls already get several of what's included daily: a rotating slice of red, yellow, or orange sweet pepper; a slice of cucumber; and a sprig of cilantro (although Moira is completely turned off by them whereas Rose can't get...
