I was just wondering, do all of your guinea pigs eat constantly? Ricky is now 10 months old. Not full grown yet, but getting big. I can not keep up with his food anymore. I have to fill his veggie bowl at least 5 times a day! Everytime I walk in the room, he's up on his back legs, holding on to the bars, wheeking his brains out. Even if I've fed him a half our earlier! Every day he eats like a whole cumcumber, a whole green pepper, a few carrots (against the vets wishes) tons of parsley and basil. Not to mention, I'm constantly filling his bowl of pellets. And he's loaded with Timothy Hay. Is this normal for 10 months? He never ate this much before. I don't want to go to the vets because he's very perky and happy and not sick at all. His poops are normal, although, he does not poop as much as when he was little. He used to make at least 60 poops a day, all in a corner of the cage. Now, maybe 20, and they are scattered all over. But he's doing fantastic. No health problems anymore. I'm just concerned about his non stop eating. Is this normal or should I be concerned? He just wheeks constantly to eat. We can hear him clear down the hall around the turn in the kitchen! (a bit of a distance) He is really loud! Is this the same with a lot of your little piggies? I was just a little concerned. Thanks for any advice!
