Hello all, my sow squirrel is getting her teeth filed down on Friday at the vets under sedation. She’s struggling to eat as her teeth are wonky and her jaw is misaligned, so she’s lost some weight. I don’t know much about sedation, so does anybody have info/advice? I’m so worried for my girl...

Hello everyone. I'm still learning about good nutrition through these wonderful guides and taking notes. I also check on them before going to the supermarket. And I have some notions of what is right and what is wrong about diet. However, I wanted a guide that I could print and, together with...

At the moment my 2 boars get veggies in the morning and then hay for the rest of the day. Is this enough? I’m worried I’m not feeding them enough. When I first got them they were overweight so I had kept their food intake quite low to burn the food off and now they’re at a normal weight I just...

Hello! I plan on getting two piggies this summer and am trying to determine food quality, cost, and how often I need to buy more food. I've heard that the oxbow garden select pellets along with unlimited timothy hay and veggies are popular, but does anyone here know how much and how often you...

Hi, I’m a first time piggie owner, and I can’t get an answer as to whether or not my pig is a messy eater or if she has dental issues. So basically, my girl Sherlock always gets a wet chin when she’s eating food. It’s not wet any other time, but I read that a wet chin can be related to dental...

Hello. So recently my guinea pig of six years has passed only a few days ago, and I have left over food that's still pretty brand new. I want to potentially donate it to an animal shelter, but the food is opened and poured inside of a container I used to use during feeding time. I've only...

I've been doing research because me and my partner are worried for our guinea pigs health. She's been having some excess calcium, but last night was extra. All powdery, nothing too big either. We are looking to change pellets because I heard Oxbow isn't the best and they have helped create...

Hello, I'm very scared because my guinea pig was out playing and she ate a dry old oak leaf someone must have dragged in on their shoes and they are poison idk what to do, she is acting fine but I'm scared. Shes a big boned 1 and a half year old girl.

This is Manny and Diego today is their 3rd birthday! The little cake I made was an apple with the core out with collard greens, broccoli, carrots and red cabbage!

The title says it all. I have an apple tree in the garden and I wonder if I could give my piggies some of the apple trees' twigs and branches but I do have some other questions 1.Do I need to prep them in any other sort of way except washing them 2. The twigs look relatively young and I wonder...

they also had a piece of bell pepper

This food good for my piggies? And if so, how much should I feed them with it?

is this enough food for 2 piggies

Hi, One of my sows went into mild gut stasis secondary to uti and had 2 days at the vets for syringe feeding of critical care, subcut fluids and gut motility meds. She's home amd very much on the mend (yay). She's back to her usual self, but to get her eating more herself the vets gave fresh...

Hi ^^ Our piggies are obsessed with grapes. Whenever they smell them, they go crazy! As we’ve read on the forum and other sites, guinea pigs should only be given grapes about once a week… But we gave about 7 each to the piggies this week. (Because they’re so cute when they beg for food and lick...

Hi everyone, my 6 1/2 year old boy Kip isn’t really interested in food right now. He ate a small bit of cucumber and apple and I gave him a few mls of cc but I’m concerned. I went for a nap around 11:30am this morning and overslept until 3pm because I forgot to set an alarm and he was absolutely...

Hello Does anyone have a list of veg which is safe to feed daily? 2-3 times a week and fortnightly? We bought some tubs which we want to put veg in and then twice a day the kids can grab a tub from the fridge and feed the guinea pigs. We plan to write days of the week on the tubs and morning...

hi! newer owner, just getting recommendations. my piggies have both loved lettuce so far.

My dad works on a farm and gifted me a bale of hay for Christmas. I forgot to double check and ask what kind it was. I’m going to ask in the morning but at the moment I’m worrying. What if I’ve been feeding my 2 year old piggies Alfalfa hay for the last 2 days? Will they be okay?

They get kale parsley romaine red leaf lettuce green leaf lettuce radicchio pepper cucumber and carrots all of or a combination of these weighing up to 100grams a pig a day split into two separate feedings and of course pellets and hay from oxbow
