Feeding the guinea pigs at TEAS

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

I feed a lot of herbs, but mainly parsley, coriander, dill, basil and sometimes mint. I also feed a lot of mixed salad leaves, peppers (all colours), cucumber, kale (occasionally) and spinach (occasionally). I tend not to feed spring greens very often and I avoid celery, as I have had a couple of piggies react badly to it and get bloat every time they've eaten it. I occasionally feed corn on the cob too! In the summer they have less veg, but unlimited grass.

I see you feed all your veg once a day. Is there a reason for this? I have two pigs with bladder issues and I'm trying to see if I can help with diet. Nancy has IC while Pumpkin has had bladder sludge and a stone. I feed a lot more wet than many other people ( i feed a lot of cucumber). But I feed two proper portions of veg twice a day and then also piece of cucumber at another time. I find when their urine is more dilute they are normally in less pain ( they will wake me up in the night squeaking in pain if they are bad, but some cucumber seems to help). Neither of them drink. Do your pigs drink?
