Junior Guinea Pig
What about zucchini? It's something my family eats and guineadad says it's good to give 40 grams daily I believe. I'd have to look again?
Do guinea pigs really need filtered water. I've been drinking tap water here for 30 years. I don't know how expensive it would be get filtered water
I found a Brita one on sale for $15. I'll give it a shot. How would I know when the filter needs to be replaced?Depends if you live in a hard water area. If you do then yes filtering their water is advisable. Most calcium comes into the diet via pellets and drinking water and too much calcium and oxalates can lead to the formation of bladder stones. Something that you would want to do anything you can to help to avoid.
There is a genetic element to a piggies likelihood of suffering with bladder stones and the calcium absorption process is a complicated one and obviously we can do nothing about that, but we can control their diet.
You can buy a water filter jug and just pass your normal tap water through it before filling piggies bottles. It doesn’t have to be expensive at all.

40g of zucchini (aka courgette in this country) is absolutely loads - i wouldnt dream of feeding that much - assuming I could get my piggies to go anywhere near it in the first place. It’s something a lot of piggies don’t like.
If zucchini is the same as squash then my grandfather loves it lol. Not me though.
I bought a hydroponics set for almost $50 with 12 pods for planting. Will that give enough veggies to make it worth there diet I hope? Also with bell pepper seeds can I just use the seeds from inside of a pepper instead of buying seeds online?
In the US, cilantro refers to the leafy herb and coriander typically refers to the seed that forms on the same plant, which is ground as a spice. You are looking for the herb, so you can plant closer together. Furthermore, you can plant closer than recommended and thin as the plants grow ... piggies are happy to help with thinning. I do this when growing head lettuce, too (loose leaf I plant dense since I intend to clip regularly as it grows.) You can overseed as well if you're "thinning" faster than it's growing.Something I read said cilantro only needs 2 inch spacing where coriander needs 10 inches. I thought they were the same thing but I guess there a little different. I'm growing cilantro so I'd say I can fit 6-8 seeds in one of these pots
Lavender is very slow growing and can be a challenge to start from seed. You may want to start with a nursery plant, or some grocery stores will sell herb plants as well, though often seasonally.I think cilantro might be tough here then and Its not that expensive in store. I do have the pot with no flower tho so I wanna try something that grows quick and I can dry and store that I wouldn't find everywhere outside. Maybe some lavender or thistle?
It's a cucurbit, which is a botanical family consisting of squash, gourds, melons, and cucumbers (and some other plants I won't discuss here). These are separated into different genuses:If zucchini is the same as squash then my grandfather loves it lol. Not me though.
