food

Hi guys! I've read a lot about how much guinea pigs should be eating of veg and nuggets but I've read a lot of different things so I'm a bit confused. Vegetables What food can they eat daily? And how much veg should they be having each day? Nuggets The nuggets that I have suggest 60grams...

Hi again, guys. Some of you will remember me, since I've made such a bad first impression of myself as an owner LoL. (I'm that guy who let the dog chase after his guinea pig for the first week) But I'm way over past that, and I've made soooo many improvements. Porca is so much better, less shy...

So to encourage my baby guinea pigs (6/7 weeks) to feel comfortable during lap time, I've been feeding them veggies throughout the whole time until I put them back. Now I realize this might not have been the best thing because if I put them on my lap, they immediately expect veggies and they'll...

hello, all. I was doing some cleaning and I’m a drawer of my desk I found a zip-lock bag of food that came in a party-mix of pellets. It has pea flakes, corn pieces, and some other weird shaped things. I got this food back in January when I initially got Finnian and he hated the pellets so he...

Hi, at what point would you consider visiting the vet if your Guinea Pig is eating less than usual? I gave her the usual amount of yellow peppers and she left about half of them by the time I woke up this morning. But she’s eating her red lettuce this morning just fine. Usually peppers are her...

Hi, We got two baby boars yesterday, I think they are roughly 10 weeks old. The farm we got them from said to give them an egg cup full of dry food a day, and then a couple of pieces of vegetables every 2-3 days. It doesn't like enough to me, so wanted to check if that was right? On the...

Richard and Kevin got super lucky today! I decided to give them some slices of strawberry. It's one of their favorites but they don't get it too often because of how high in sugar it is (And also because Richard is on a diet, but dont tell him that). :drool:

How many grams of veg are you supposed to give per guinea pig a day? I've heard 50g, I give 100g. Most people say 1 cup but how much is that in grams?

Now I understand that Guinea Pigs like thyme, basil, oregano & mint. But my question is.....does it matter Which species of oregano etc? I have 4 different - basil, oregano & mint 3 different - thyme And I know there's different kinds of camomile.... Etc etc etc Anyone? Thank You in Advance!

So I introduced my two sows yesterday and they are getting along famously from what I can tell. Apart from when it comes to food. Rosie (a little older and significantly bigger) doesn't seem to want to share. Even if I lay out quite a big pile, or two bowls. Rachel is more timid away and is put...

We're having a debate, one of us is convinced after reading something online that spinach caused the bloat that caused buttons death. What are your thoughts on spinach? Abouts and frequencies?

So I have a bag of hay and a bag if Timothy readigrass here at the moment. I'm just wondering what way you guys store your hay. Is it okay to leave the bag open or do you tape it shut etc? Will it go bad if not sealed tightly?

Top tip guys - maybe don't give white piggies raspberry! So I got all excited today when I noticed a punnet of raspberries at a slightly cheaper price (80p BARGAIN) and thought PIGGIES though the rest of the family thought otherwise :lol!: Mo has already tried one once and...let's just say he...

My piggie eats her hay, pellets, lettuce, spinach, and the occasional treat I give her. I never give her too much spinach because it can be damaging. Thing is, that's all she eats. I've tried so much with her but she refuses to eat. What should I do?

please vote on which guinea pig nuggets you/ your guinea pigs think are the best as i'm considering switching to something different as it becoming far too costly and my piggies don't even seem to keen on it .... please consider the cost, how healthy they are, and how much your piggies like them...

Since my piggies current cage is too small for them I let them roam the kitchen every day. Today I noticed one of them was trying to scrape something off the floor with her teeth. I looked and it was a tiny bit of smeared chocolate on the ground. A little bit must have fallen when I got it off...

So Mo's teeth are fine! Front ones are perfectly straight and growing at even rates- which is a huge relief because Mo did at one point loose one of his top teeth (well most of it there was a mini stump left). Anyway the only fear I have is occasionally -like just now- he'll get a strand of hay...

Hope I'm posting this in the right place! I'm new to the forum. I rescued my third little man about a week ago from my local SPCA. He's a year and six months, unneutered, and seemingly very healthy, with his weight being around 3 lbs. However, in his time being here, he's turned his nose to any...

Hi, Have a wide variety of vegetables growing and wondering if guinea pigs can eat the courgette leaves? Is there any other plant leaves they can eat? Or any in particular to avoid? Thanks
