Can i leave guinea pigs for two days?

[SunnyandStorm]

Would it be ok to leave my two guinea pigs for two days alone (leave Friday lunch time and return Sunday lunch time)? I would leave them three hay racks full of hay, two big water bottles, a large pile of veggies and two days worth of pellets. I think they might eat most of the veggies in one go but they tend to spread their hay and pellets out over a long time. Would they be ok?

Probably not a good idea...
It would be best to get somebody to stop in and feed them and play with them, if you can’t get anybody to look after them for the whole two days
Veggies they definitely would eat all at once

And once they have scoffed all their veg there will be a lot of pop! Can a friend / relative pop in ? Even if it's just once a day?

I wouldn't risk being away from the piggies for more than 24 hours. Longer than that and you should make other arrangements.

I don't think it's a good idea, you need to get someone In really. They will have eaten all that food by lunch time.

Can a neighbour or friend/work colleague pop round on Saturday to top up on water, veggies and hay

Where abouts do you live? If we have your area then someone might be able to recommend a pet sitter etc...

Thanks for your comments everyone! My brother’s friend is now going to pop in and feed them

if I leave my piggies for max 24 hours I have a flip feeder that you set timer on and it opens say 12 hours time and i put couple flat ice packs under it. x
