Piggy Not Eating.

[chelbrot]

Okay, so I got my piggy Lucy about a month ago from a home where she wasn't being taken care of properly. She had never been given any kind of guinea pig food before I got her. She has a ton of hay every day and I give her a variety of veggies, but she is not eating the little pellet food thats in her cage. Is there a way to get her to start eating the food? Are hay and veggies enough for her? Thanks guys!

As long as she is getting enough hay (80%) and is getting vitamin C from her veggies there isn't really an issue. You can give her 1/8 of a bell pepper for example as it is high in vitamin C. Lots of people choose not to feed pellets
