Junior Guinea Pig
Hey everyone!
I’ve had my two Guinea pigs for 3 years and I’ve made an odd discovery. Mine have been on and off sick recently, I’ve took them to the vets a few times as they’ll get pain when weeing/pooping. No sign of bladder stones, but seems like they have too much calcium but the veggies they have are very low in this…. have been trying to work out what’s causing it for a few months. Yesterday I had to give them excel hay as my haybox subscription was a few days late.
On this excel hay, there bowl movements have gone completely back to normal. No pain when passing, no soft poops they have all just turned normal and consistent. Has anyone had this with hay box or is it too fresh for my pigs? If it’s been this the whole time then I’m sooo happy and relieved, but have also spent so much on vet bills for nothing….![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f923.png)

I’d love to know what your favourite hay is. I got them a bag of excel but I’d like to get a larger box of something similar because they get through it quick
Thank you!
