Senior Guinea Pig
How much food in mls should i be syringe feeding Lottie a day?
Today, so far, she's had 70ml of mushed pellets & a bowl of veg. She has probiotic in her water but i syringe-feed her 20-40ml daily to ensure she gets some of it & she's also having 30mg Vit C tablet a day (mixed with water & syringed).
She lost weight while on the Recovery Food, i don't think she liked it but today (she was back on the pellets last night) she's gained 28g/1 oz overnight & now weighs 697g/1lb 8.5oz
However, she's shown no interest in hay or her dry food but yesterday i bought some forage excel to tempt her & she ate some (the other piggies went mental with it ).
How long before she should start to show an interest in her "normal" diet or is it individual to each piggy?
