Alicia
Adult Guinea Pig
I've accidentally let the piggies get quite fat. I have two females and a neutered male, they live in a shed and have plenty of space, as well as access to the run and free range time when I can sit with them (which I try to do every evening) when I went away in January my dad looked after them and fed them loads (grandparent love!) and I thought it would get better when I got home but I've noticed they are still very overweight so I'm obviously doing something wrong.
They have unlimited hay and are on grass most of the day, they have veggies/herbs including parsley, coriander, basil, mint, cucumber on rotation but I try and limit it to a small amount. They have Sainsbury's own brand pellets and they have a small handful shared between the 3 of them once a day. From tonight I'm going to cut their pellets right down but I can't see any obvious areas where I'm going wrong. Any tips or advice?
