Hello, I noticed on the internet that wheat grass can be fed to guinea pigs instead of grass during the winter. But how about the calcium in this food, I tried to look but I didn't find how it is. I ask because I have a guinea pig that has bladder sludge problems, and she loves wheat grass

Every day I refill Clover and Stella's food bowl. One tablespoon of pellets each. In the evening their bowl is empty, and whenever I walk by they wheek at me. I give them a little bit more, and in the morning it's empty. We're back to where we started. Are they truly hungry, or are they eating...

Hi, I have three piggies. I refill their hay rack whenever it starts running low and I just go buy more whenever I run out, but I figured I could probably save some time/money if I ordered hay to autoship in bulk. How much do you think 3 pigs would go through in a month?
