skinnypigs1 are carrots. Okay
luis dominguez-Paris yes carrots are very nutritious for guinea pigs!
good job for taking care of your guinea pigs i am goin to have one for my Birthday party😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😍😍😍😍😍😍
skinnypigs1 dose your rabbit get the same??😊
Enrique Acosta you NEED 2 or more
im a new pig mom & you have helped me so much. thank you!!
@ Leah Thornhill, Barnaby was losing weight, sitting uncomfortable and making a noise while he peed. He went to the vet and got an xray which showed the bladder stone.
Thanks for the tips!!!
skinnypigs1
skinnypigs1 feel bad😢
skinnypigs1 oh no, is he okay now? that's why I watch videos from u so I know what exactly what to do
I give my guinea pig a half inch slice of cucumber but I only give the skin as the centre has high water content and he doesn't like the centre anyway
Thanx 4 showing me how to care for my baby girl! She is happy
This is so helpful, my little man just had bladder stone surgery today. This will hopefully help him recover smoothly.
I have started growing some veggies for my hamsters and I will be starting to grow for future piggies
This helped so much I used to feed my pigs way to much veggies a day! Thanks so much!
thank you for this!!! i couldnt figure out why one of my piggies had calcium in their pee but i was feeding her romaine lettuce. ill try regular lettuce!
I don't think i could feed the bell pepper lol, i honestly think i would eat all of the bell peppers before the pigs had a chance to eat any.
Rosemary Crafting Bell peppers are very good for them, for vitamin c it's very good to give them that.
Same, but I remember to always feed my piggies veggies
but I'm so tempted to eat it too
Me too 😂😂
I am new to your videos. I had guinea pigs in the past but I learned some things I wish I had known before. I just got me a couple of baby female guineas. I want to make sure they have a happy and healthy life. I just love pigs! Thank you for sharing!
thenks so much!!i just got a guinea pig a cople of hours ago and im just thankful for all of your videos!
It is so cute to walk in and hear my piggies squeak when they know it is salad time :)
My guinea pig loves spinach and cucumber and carrots and Red bell peppers
great video! very informative! the best vid resource in my opinion because she breaks it down not only by the type of food to feed to the guinea pig, but also how much to feed by using the illustrations thus making it very easy to understand! I now have a better understanding of what to feed my guinea pig daily now, thank you!!
+Natasha Triplett You are very welcome!
Awesome video! :) Green pepper is always in our house!
Omg this has educated me so much I just revised I feed my guinea pigs way too much surgar and I’m so glad I found you :)
Very helpful...Thank you.....You have such love and compassion for your pigges..you only want what's good for them...That's so cool..
Great video, I feed bell peppers every day and the piggies love it! Then I'm happy they are getting their vitamin C too :)
You help me so much thank you! From you, I learn how to:bathe,feed properly,clean cage,make a cage instead of buy and lots more so thank you!!
I feed my pig two baby carrots, a little bit of green leaf lettuce and cilantro and three baby tomatoes, the ones I give her are about half an inch. Very tiny.
you've gotten a lot more tattoos since this video was done LOL I just noticed that right away
I love your UA-cam channel I just love to see how you are with your guinea pigs.
Thank you!
This was so helpful. I used to feed them too much tomatoes😬
Hi your such a good rodent mommie Iyour very kind most people just get in your face your a good Lady
My piggies and I love you! Thanks so much for your videos, you've given me so much inspiration and it is literally because of you that I adopted 5 gorgeous piggies and they are happy and healthy :) Thanks so so much!
Great video and I definitely need to review what I feed my piggies as they do get calcium deposits in their urine. I think I overfeed lettuce so will try feeding what you feed daily and see if it helps. Thank you for the great information, I'm learning so much from you and your videos.
Calcium deposits are normal, you won't stop it. These vloggers have anxiety because of bladder stones. Instead of calcium look at oxolate in veg and soy found in shit pellets.
Sorry old post haha 👍
im learning new things
Thank you so much for this video!!! Around a year ago i was feeding my pigs one stalk of celery per pig, then i realized how absolutely high in calcium it is!! Now i feel cucumber, tomatoes, and romaine lettuce daily, with a sprig of cilantro every 3 days or so :)
Glad it is helpful :)
Very useful! My piggies started having white residue in their urine so I am gonna stick with a low calcium diet. Thank you!
I have an updated diet which includes radicchio instead of lettuce and Sherwood pellets instead of Oxbow.
Great video!!! My older girls don't get much variety for the same reason. Unfortunately, they refuse to eat any bell peppers. :(
That is too bad they don't like the peppers. It took Calvin and Hobbes a week before they would start to nibble on the peppers I offered them daily.
Awesome!thanks!!
thank you!i just got pigs and buying veggies right now!
this helps a lot tysm i will now start feeding my pig pepper and more carrots
woow super interesting
I have two piggies
you make having a guinea pig look soo easy, your good at it!🖒☺
im so glad you made this video! i was looking for veggies that youtubers feed there guinea pigs!
:)
i love your videos they are very helpful and fun to watch thanks for sharing them and dont stop making your awsome videos!!!
Thanks!!
no problem
thank you @skinnypigs you are very helpful.
Very helpful video! I was a lil worried about giving my piggies to much Calcium, but my daily is usually pepper, carrot, as the majority and then some romaine and then tomato and celery occasionally. Then apples as treaties.
Really good information thank you
Penelope Grider You are welcoime!
My piggies decided to dig up their liners and hide under them, even tho they have houses and things to hide in. So since they went under the liners instead of on top of them that means they pooped under them too. So that means I had to wash everything, so since they had to spend part of the day in a travel cage and get a bath and their nails clipped I gave them all of their favorite veggies as a reward, they are definitely happy piggies now :)
Cool good to know
@ Graisyn Sobczak...Iceberg lettuce has zero nutritional value and has a very large water content.
+piggie lover no it isnt it just doesnt have any kind of nutritional value.www.guineapigcages.com/forum/threads/69028-Iceberg-Lettuce
+Glitter forever 5.
Ummm Red leave Lettus is Not at all good for them look it up
What is not good about it? I have looked it up and it is a staple item, that or green leaf lettuce is excellent for your guinea pigs.
When i looked it up it said its to watery and Has WAY TOO MUCH MINERALS
Its is ok to give green leave lettuce, carrots and pepper every day. I'm starting to see white spots on the fleece.
Yes
for baby carrots they put Corrine and other chemicals to keep them the game size just saying
I had been feeding Kale and Fresh Spinach. Not anymore. Thanks for this video.
I've planted 2 or 3 red romaine lettuce seeds with some potting soil in containers like yours. If they grow my 2 guinea pigs and I will have some this winter =)
Thank you so much for this video I'm sticking to this diet! Other diet videos are a bit vague but this was really good!!
Jamie O'Leary Thanks, glad it was helpful!
Yes I really like it I have two gorgeous haired guineas and I was wondering if I could find a video on UA-cam to help me see if I was feeding my guinea pigs correctly. They are now 7 months today
I know I'm a little bit late on this comment but I just wanted to let you know something that I've heard a couple times. Apparently baby carrots are bathed in chlorine to shape them so I just feed my guinea pig normal carrots. I don't know if this is 100% true or if it would even harm the guinea pig but it's not good for humans so I just assume it's not the best. I hope you take this into consideration and maybe find out more about it to see if it's really harmful.
Did you ever make a video on; what beginner guinea pig owners should get?
Thank you for the video, we just found out my piggie Harvey has bladder sludge so i am putting all my pigs on a low calcium diet. This video helped alot especially with quantity, also i am changing water to low calcium bottled water.
Laura Hall I use filtered water from a brita, it is great. What pellets do you feed and how much?
I am looking into buying a brita water filter :) I use pets at homes own brand (don't no if your from the US or UK but its a big supermarket for pet supplies) I give a handful a day
Laura Hall Pellets really have to be measured out, 1/8 of a cup per pig, per day. They contribute a lot of calcium into a diet if overfed and it is best to try and find ones with the lowest amount possible. You want about .4% calcium in the pellets.
I am in Canada :)
Right, I will get onto it :) thank you for your advice I appreciate it a lot :) and hello to you all the way over in Canada :)
Thanks
Thanks for the information. I'm thinking about getting a hairless piggy 🐹
I have videos on caring for skinny pigs if you are interested.
hi I was wondering if you can do a video on what you feed throughout the day?
ua-cam.com/video/5uJkuHeQshg/v-deo.html
thanks!
hello skinnypigs1 - I really enjoyed your video - and this is more or less exactly what I am now feeding my older guinea pigs as they are very susceptible to uric stones as they get older. However - younger guinea pigs can take, and need, some calcium in their diets because they need it while their bones are still growing. Also, a plea to everyone to WASH vegetables before preparing them. Most supermarket vegetables and fruits have preservatives of one sort or another sprayed onto their skins - unless they are organic.
+Sally Farky That is why feeding alfalfa based pellets for piggies under 6 months old is required, to make sure they get that extra calcium.
red pepper is the best for guinea pigs because it has the highest amount of vitamin c compared to the other colours
jennatigerrose I was thinking the same thing! From what I read, all colors of bell peppers are fine for piggies to eat, but the red has the most vitamin C (which piggies need daily). Next highest in vit C is orange bell peppers, then yellow, then the lowest vit C is the green bell peppers. That doesn't mean green bell peppers aren't high in vit C, just that the red ones have the most vit C. 😉👍
jennatigerrose green have the least amount of sugar though
jennatigerrose
Hey! I wouldn't necessarily say that red capsicum (pepper) is the best due to the phosphorus to calcium ratio being very unbalanced.
When looking up the nutritional value of red, green and yellow capsicum, yellow is the best in regards to the ratio of calcium to phosphorus (Ca:P).
Red has a ratio of 1:7
Green has a ratio of 1:2.2
Yellow has a ratio of 1:2.18
(please note that ratios don't use decimal places but I used decimal places to visually represent the ratios in hopes of a better understanding).
As you can see red had the worst ratio of calcium to phosphorus which isn't good for their diet, whereas yellow and green are basically the same and are perfect in ratio. I'm not 100% certain on the reasoning behind why they need to be even but I do remember reading it in a clinical study for rats and guinea pigs, along with many discussion posts on forums. Now, you can still feed red capsicum but I find that yellow is the best due to the ratio of Ca:P and it has higher vit c (red = 152mg vit c, green = 98mg vit c, yellow = 183mg vit c).
Disclaimer: my research is based on the food composition table for Australians and is per 100g of veggies, so the nutritional value within your veg may vary due to location.
Were i live the bell peppers are $2 each and i bought 10 green bell peppers 😥should have gotten red
This was alot of help thanks
Thank you for the very helpful video :)
I like this bit of advice i already give them tomatoes and cucumber. But nice to see more stuff i can add. Is it ok how you say once a day if i cut that in half and give them half a serving in am as breakfast and half at night. My GP seems to get all excited when i bring in the veggies like runs around the house waiting for it.
yes I'm getting that taken care of soon.
Hi. I’m really scared. Our guinea pigs are fed vegetables everyday and for the past like 3 weeks we have been feeding them dandelion greens and parsley everyday. I have noticed that they have been peeing white a lot so I started to do more research. When I found out to much calcium can cause bladder stones I got really scared. I have not seen them pee blood and I haven’t seen them squeak while they pee/poo. We will start to do a lower calcium diet for them, but I still really don’t want them to have surgery because that is hard for little guinea pigs. If anyone has any information or tips please respond ASAP. Thanks.
I have spent the last 3 days viewing as many of your videos as I can... But I can not seem to find the veggie chart. Could you help me...ps.. love your videos. they have helped so MUCH!
Go to Guinea Lynx.
Great thank you
ok thank you
I'm 10 and I did a lot of research on guniea pigs before I ever got one
If you wanna feed your Guinea pigs apples more often you can dehydrat them
Great tip. My boys love apples but they absolutely scarf them down. Its become a once a month thing. I will try this. Does dehydrating reduce the sugar content?
How did you tell that Barnaby had a bladder stone?
Um I feed her hay Timothy hay oxbow pellets and some times lettuce
I would add in some bell pepper, it is really healthy for guinea pigs.
Sorry if I missed it, but how often can I feed Kale please? My piggies love it
Just so you know,tomatoes are technically fruits.I do understand however how it is okay to give those to them daily.
sorry, I think its called like dandelion greens or some such.
Is this in addition to their pellet food and hay?
ZanyProductionz yes, of course!
I can only get frozen carrots should I leav them to for out
When do you feed your guinea pig veggies,in the morning or at night.
They need to eat 2 time a day or just 1 time
ok in real live i got little gin pigs one is cald gremy the other one is cald rigby
Hi plzz text back you are like the best you inspired me to get guinie pigs
My guinea pigs won't eat peppers what should I do about that they are really picky
What kind of water you should give the guinea pig
What are the containers called that are from Walmart that have the special design so it says fresher?
What do you feed 3 week old piggies
Tomato,pepper and cucumber are fruits
Georgia Flo No one refers to them as fruits.
how do you feel about dandelions?
Does anyone know when you can start feeding piggy’s veggies? Mine is 1 month old
My guinea pig fell down the vent what should I do? HELP!!!
Informative video, thanks; but also important to remind people not to give their piggies apple seeds as they contain a small amount of cyanide, which is very harmful to guinea pigs! (The amount is not dangerous to humans.)
My piggie wont eat his pepper, lettuce or carrot any tips?
My guinea pig has a bladder stone and I can't pay for her surgery because I'm only 13. :C It still hasn't hit me that I have to say goodbye soon ;~;
Leah Piper if you can’t afford the vet, don’t get the pet!
can they drink prilled water
I have a garden in back yard i was wondering if i could use the tomatos in my garden??
I feed my pig romane but he is fine but when you said that I got a little scared
I feed Roman and I have noticed that there is calcium deposits around the cage which I am putting an end to ASAP
+Catoatic gaming Another great thing is to filter their water, I use a Brita. Also double check that you are feeding healthy, low calcium pellets.
Thanks you're my favorite gpig tuber and you've help me and my two girls alot:)
I'm watching this because my piggy was euthanized today because of a stone that blocked his urethra. Im grieving and hopelessly looking for answers.😞
I'm gonna back of the two leaves of lettuce and only give them one because their poos aren't firm so hopefully that will help😊 thank you for the tip +skinnypigs1
Hi, we've just found out that one of our guinea pigs has two bladder stones which he'll be having removed next week. I see that you give pepper to your guinea pigs, but I have a problem, the one who is currently ill gets gas from it and I'm allergic to it, is there anything else as good as peppers that I could maybe use?
You indpierd me to get a skinny pig and I am getting one next week so thanks and any tips ??
@ skinnypigs1 Is he okay?
You made this video just in time!! My pig developed a UTI and is the beginning of a stone! The vet is treating it with baytril. I was doing alot of research on low calcium diest. My vet advised me to feed pellet free (I was feeding oxbow, 1/8 cup a day) just for now to make the cailcium go down. Do you have any other advice on preventing stones while having a UTI?
I would definitely go pellet free if your piggy is having sludge in its bladder. Barnaby gets 8 pieces of pellet a day just because he loves them so.
I give all the pigs 1 Oxbow Urinary Support Tablet a day, to promote healthy bladder function. Also it is extremely important that your piggy is drinking a lot of water, make sure it is filtered water so that it doesn't contain high amounts of calcium in the water. I use 3 bottles in Barnaby's cage so that he has no excuse to not drink.
thanks for the info. trying to figure out possible diets for these cavis. I think mine are smaller than yours so I imagine they would eat less?
+melanie lopez How old are they?
Do the veggies have to be organic?
No. But wash them well.
Thank you! I give them celery along with baby carrots every day because it seems to be there favorite staff (after green apple, which I give them less then once a week).
May be because of high content of fiber plus it's watery and a bit sweet? But I almost never give them dark green part on romaine, only lower part of core, because they crazy about it. What do you think about strawberry stems, zucchini?
***** Guinea Lynx has the best food chart, I recommend you check that out. Tells you all the nutritional values for foods. I have no idea if Strawberry stems are okay...I know most stems aren't safe.
skinnypigs1
Thank you! By the way, my guinea pigs love you voice! :)))
