Junior Guinea Pig
I just weighed both my piggies and the usually gain/lose somewhere between 30g normally less a week and these are the results after weight them.
Sam-
10 days ago: 1245g
today: 1168g
loss of: 77g
Pip-
10 days ago: 1275g
today: 1252g
loss of: 23g
My concern is usually they are around the same weight with a 10-30g leeway.
Just before i weighed them i gave them each a berry nibblot as i had just purchased them and wanted to see if they liked them, soon after feeding them Sam jolted his body and opened his mouth like he was trying to heave something up. Is this normal for piggies? If they get something stuck do they do this? he only did it for a couple seconds.
I was concerned and heath checked him, he looked fine. i gave him some pellets to eat but he wouldn't eat them so i let him out for a run to see if thats what he wanted. He was running around my room, across the landing and in other rooms just like normal and was being as bouncy as normal. I put him back and he ate some pellets and had a drink.
Am i worrying too much? should i keep an eye on him? could he just have not been hungry at the time? or got the treat stuck, just like a human would?
Pip and Sam both get the exact same diet P@H nuggets with a little bit of Burgess nuggets. Veggies when i have them and occasional treats.
