Hi, everyone!
So I have had guinea pigs for about two months now, and I have come to realize that perhaps they don't poop as much as they should. They poop maybe 30-50 poops a day?
I first got one of my guinea pigs, Benny, but he had always pooped very little since the beginning so I was never too concerned. However, last week we got another guinea pig since I read they do better in pairs and this guy used to poop a lot more. Recently, though, his poops have dropped a whole lot to about the same amount as Benny.
They always have hay and I change their water everyday. I also feed them fresh veggies daily. (although maybe I give them too little?) Another thing is that they also don't drink a lot of water. The new guy, Smores, used to drink a ton but now he drinks about the same as Benny.
Benny is always running around, popcorning, and wheeking (very lively guy!) and Smores has started to come out of shell more too.
If there is anything at all you guys can think of, please tell me! I greatly appreciate y'all help!
