Junior Guinea Pig
Hi,
I'm just wondering if anyone is having the same issues as us lately with regards to veg. We normally get veg from a variety of shops...dates are checked and the veg itself id checked to make sure it is OK for the piggies to eat. Its then washed and stored until its used and we buy more every 2-3 days. But lately even with checking veg seems to be going off sometimes even after a couple hours...if we've even found any that isn't mouldy in shops. Especially cucumbers...weve been struggling to find any good ones they're all very soft and easy to squish and some have a very strong almost perfume smell...we live in the North east of the UK...I know its winter so things may be a bit harder to come by but it has never been this bad before...any veg were unsure of were not giving to the piggies as I dont want to risk them being unwell...is there anything we can potentially do to help particularly the cucumber last a bit longer or anything we can replace it with? Were going to try find some baby cucumbers to see if we have better luck with them...I'm getting worried about not being able to find good veg for them as all the shops seem to be the same so far...
