So they need bigger hay bowls? I guess mine are legitimately hungry. Geeze...But they've all gained nearly a quarter pound by my estimation since I they came under my care, so I don't think they are starving....
Guinea pigs are grazing animals, so evolved to spend many hours a day eating grass. The majority of their diet therefore needs to be grass hay (not alfalfa) and/or fresh grass in order to keep their teeth worn down ( which constantly grow) and GI tract working smoothly. It is hard to extract calories and nutrients from grass but guinea pigs have evolved to do just that which means they can quickly become overweight if fed not enough hay and too much other food.But peas have more carbs than carrots do... and what do you mean nuggets? like chicken nuggets? and can I give them pecans?
Mine are excellent at convincing MrA that they haven’t been fed thereby sneaking a second breakfast or tea!All of our furry overlords (and ladies) are very good at convincing us that they are starving
By special hay do you mean marijuana!?!?!? Sorry not trying to imply a darn thing, but that does sound like something they’d call it over here now that it’s legal and I have no idea what you’re laws regulating that drug are.Lots of it available all day.
Mine get a very large handful in the morning and again in the evening. At lunchtime they get a small handful of special hay. They get peas and nuggets at tea time and veggies for brekkie and tea. Hardly any fruit or carrots.
Excuse my ignorance. Over here nuggets=fried protein, usually chicken or fish, unless very specifically specified otherwise…and many consider anything but chicken to be a cardinal sin punishable by an eternity in the tenth level of hell. The only other kind of nugget that is common is corn nuggets which are clumps of sugar saturated corn kernels double battered and deep fried and the. Smothered in powdered sugar. Delicious, but you can literally hear yourself getting fatter when eating them.You don’t feed hay by bowls - it should be just thrown in in huge piles and be constantly available.
Mine have their hay topped up a minimum of twice a day.
Their main diet is hay; not veg. Veg should be just one cup per day..
I think weepweeps means peaflakes which are a treat.
Nuggets are their pellets, which they can have one tablespoon of per day.
No you can’t give them pecans! No nuts or seeds

The way they jump on their “special hay” and then crash out after in a happy sleep maybe it is piggy hashBy special hay do you mean marijuana!?!?!?
