Guinea pig poos

[FirstTimePigs]

We have had our girls for about 5 months and they were 2-3 months when we got them. I think their poo has got lighter over recent days and acquired a slight odour, though wonder if I'm imagining things.

Does this poo look ok to you? They have plentiful meadow hay, 1 tbsp pellets each a day and veggies (picture is fairly representative, though they wouldn't get herbs every day). I weighed the food in the photo and it was actually just 70g, though sometimes the veg they have is heavier such as spring greens rather than lettuce (and they may be hand fed a bit each).

Any thoughts/reassurance gratefully received. They are both on top form but just want the best for them :-)

The poop looks good. If you’re giving celery be mindful that the leaves are quite rich in calcium.

Thank you very much. Good point about celery - they hadn't had it for a while, so I added it to my shop this week. I try and include some vitamin C rich food each day (usually pepper) - will look into which the high calcium ones are.

Coriander is rich in vitamin c as well and can be fed daily.
