Mama guinea had 4 babies on Dec 1, 2024 - one passed after a few weeks and we now have 3. Two of three are growing just fine (250-320g and gaining grams every week), but one is not growing. She is 125g and I weigh her daily - no progress over 2 weeks. I took her to the vet and vet said she seemed fine and to keep doing what I’m doing, but I feel I need to help her grow somehow. I feed them unlimited hay, daily veggies and pellets. I hand feed the little one so she doesn’t have to compete. For veggies, I provide green and red lettuce, red bell peppers, broccoli, parsley, cilantro, romaine, carrots. What else can I try?
 
Have her teeth been checked?
The main bulk of diet should be hay. Have you seen her eating hay?
