Pantalaimon
Junior Guinea Pig
Hi, I’m going away for a few days in a few weeks and am struggling to find a way of ensuring my pigs maintain their routine with feeding.
They usually get a big pile of hay in the morning, a big tub of freshly picked grass at lunch time, a few pellets in the evening, then a bit of veg to keep them quiet while I go to sleep late in the evening.
If I do manage to find a pet sitter (and don’t have to be left behind by my family to care for them) they will almost certainly only be checked on twice per day, I will however be getting a pet camera so that I can watch them remotely.
I am concerned that by cutting grass in advance and leaving it in tubs in the fridge that it may begin to break down (even if it looks the same) and the contents of it will change and cause problems?
It would all be picked in the early evening then sit in the fridge, the last tub to be used would be sat for almost three days)
The veg should be fine as I have done this before but I’m really worried about the grass, how do people who give grass regularly get around this?
(I don’t feel comfortable asking the pet sitter to collect the grass as I am very specific about the quality)
