can i just say that i love this website lol
whenever i have a question it’s the first place i go :3 anywayyssss anyone else have picky eaters, mine both pick through there hay to get the parts they liked. they make a huge mess 🐻
 
My ozzy is very particular with what he likes, then I have Bruno who eats everything you put infront of him :D
 
Comet was fussy as. He'd eat one thing one week, refuse to touch it the next, and then loudly complain that he was hungry because Blitzen ate all the food that he refused to eat in the first place. It didn't help that he refused to eat salad leaves unless they were facing him the right way (spinach was stalk first or it just got ignored, as an example) - thankfully where hay was concerned he'd have eaten the whole bag in an hour if he had his way. At least if Blitzen wouldn't eat something I knew not to try it again, because Comet certainly wouldn't try it.
Then, when I was at my wits end with him, he ate thyme. THYME. Of all the herbs he could've eaten - parsley, coriander, dill, he went for thyme. Then Blitzen tried stealing that too and suddenly Comet would eat his food again. You could write a soap opera based on piggy meal times.

Piggies will always pick out the best bits. And some are way messier than others...
Feel blessed if you get a neat freak - the other end is far more common!

My Tesni and I had a several year war going on because she inisted on spreading the contents of her hay tray all over the cage floor to make it look more like the hutch look she preferred. In the end I gave in and kept her on loose bedding with a hay layer on top. Much more peaceful... :D

Thankfully my girls are quite tidy, apart from when they are practicing their zoomies lol. I wouldn't say I have picky eaters as everything I give always gets eaten, but I know that some of them have favourite veggies, but overall they are quite good. Mine will always kill for romain hearts, coriander, peppers and all the herbs lol
 
My 4 eat everything that's chucked on their general direction. I always let them choose what they want first out of the veg bowl before scatter feeding the rest in the hutch. Betsy and Dennis always get their veg first and I have to put up with being told off severely by Meg and Christian:lol!:

That's nice giving them a choice from the bowl. I could see why ChristIan, with his looks, would expect film star treatment :))

They were a bonkers pair right from the start but mealtimes were always entertaining. Well, for me, not quite so much for Comet who didn't even get to eat half the food he got because Blitzen was the brains of the outfit. Who said guinea pigs were boring? :))
