Hard boiled Eggs ?

[Teresa J]

Had a really lovely elderly gentleman come to see me today who used to keep lots of guineas when he was younger. We got talking about bedding, housing, feeding etc. and he told me that he always used to give his guineas chopped up hard boiled eggs once a week as a treat - he said they really loved them and couldn't gobble them down fast enough :{

I've never heard of this - can anyone enlighten me ?

I'm not sure but i wouldnt ry it seeing as it doesnt fall off a tree or come from the ground

dunno about this one, I feed scrambled egg to my elderly hamsters and the rats - its a great, easily digestable source of protein. But then they are both very different animals to the guinea pig.

Ditto that - I feed boiled or scrambled to my hamster but they are omnivors.

I though piggies were veggies so I don't think I'd feed it to them.

Ummm, I don't think I would feed my girlies eggs. It doesn't seem normal to me. Although, if I was 110% sure that they could eat them, I would give it a try.

Guineas are herbivores, they should be fed as such!

No, I don't think it's good for them.
