veggies

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 everyone, Just a bit of information about my piggie before I go into detail: I adopted a boar in December last year, I’m not sure of his age but Pets At Home said he was about 9 months at the time of his adoption. He is on a table spoon of burgess nuggets. Silky soft hay (a mix of...

Hello, I just got two male baby guinea pigs from a pet store. They said the piggies are roughly 10-12 weeks old. They told me that they need to be on pellets and alfalfa hay for another four weeks before I slowly introduce veggies to them. However, I'm finding other information online saying...

Hi! So I was just wondering how to wean Bea, my piggie who has just recovered from bloat, back on to veggies? I’ve been trying to give her bits of corriander and must’ve given her a little too much and saw one of those horrible stringy poops. Has anyone got any advice on how I can wean her...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some advice on my story with my skinny pig. Ive been a little worried because he was on antibiotics for 2 weeks for early symptoms of a URI. I had a Guinea Pig recently pass from a URI so I knew to get him checked and luckily I caught it early. During these 2 weeks on...

Hello everyone, I've been researching a lot lately, and I've found that probably the diet I have my babies on now is probably a bit wrong. I already know the amount of veggies, hay and pellets they should have on the daily basis but, I'm a bit confused on the veggies I should give them...

I’m just curious as to what everybody feeds their guineas. A lot of places have varying information. I have taken a look at the forum though and am trying to give my guinea pigs more variety in their diet. Right now for their everyday veggies, they get a leaf of red/green leaf lettuce, a slice...

Hi! I’ve been doing research on my veggies lately and I can not find the right amount of vitamins c/ calcium that guinea pigs are supposed to have daily. One article said that for an adult guinea, they need 25 mg and then another said they need 100mg a day. Does anybody actually know the right...

I started growing some veg this year for my piggies (I have 20 so they go through ALOT of veg every day). This is my first year and so far have had a bit of success with lettuce, kale and cabbage. I’ve got tomatoes, carrots, runner beans, cucumbers, and peppers will waiting to grow and flower...

sooo I made a post in another category because it was about housing and someone pointed out that I was feeding them the wrong amount of veggies (there was loads of kale and spinach- too much calcium) so I read the link and changed up their daily veggies a bit. Is this right? I have each pig: 2...

Do you mind sharing pictures of what you feed your piggies daily, even if you have them in chart? :luv: Down below is what I've planned out, please let me know if I need to modify or if you have any suggestions please. :) side note: it says Glacier's Daily Meal but need to switch it to Glacier...

Hi wondered if someone could help me, I’m creating a list of what my piggies can eat during the week and writing out when they rotate and change etc, and I wanted to know what leafy greens that can be given? I was thinking romaine was okay to give a few times a week but then I saw this on a...

Hi, I have 2 guinea pigs. 1 is 2 years old and the other 24 weeks old. They have shared a 3 x 5 cage now for months. I had the 2 year old first and never had a problem with a smelly room or poop. Only when I got another guinea pig the smell has got really bad. That bad you can smell it as soon...

Hi! I have two boars (Patches and Carmal). They recently went to the vet where they got prescribed some medicine for their soft stool. The medicine is to be administered twice daily for ten days. They do not like it but will behave long enough for me to syringe feed it to them. I did the first...

Hi. I have two boars. Patches (older) and Carmal (younger). Carmal is good about eating his veggies, but his favorite is green beans. Patches on the other, is a very picky eater. He will only eat green beans, and, if I’m lucky, corn. This is probably partially my fault. This is my first time...

Hello Guys! I’ve just adopted 3 beautiful female Guinea Pigs named Paige, Sophia and Hadley, and I want to include bell peppers in their diet. I’ve given them yellow today and they weren’t very impressed haha. I will be trying the other colours too as I know that some guinea pigs do prefer some...

Hi. I have 3 girls who are 10 weeks old. I've been giving them 1 handful of alfalfa hay every other day in with their Timothy & meadow hay. Ive been feeding them veggies as you would an adult pig (not too many high calcium foods). Somebody told me not to worry about calcium content until they're...

Some photos of me giving the girls some broccoli in their playhouse today! I think I have 2 very happy piggies now its summer :luv:

Hi all... Trying to find an Acceptable Daily green that our boys will eat. We have an especially fussy pig who has turned his nose up at: Cabbage, Basil, Parsley, Spring Greens... He will only accept Kale or spinach, but we know these shouldn't be fed daily, and other suggestions on what we...

I give my girls a salad twice a day. I meal plan for the week so the foods that is only safe to for them to eat twice a week, I only give twice a week etc. They get 5-6 different veggies each day with a good variety/variation day to day, so it's never the same each day. Can I just use this same...
