Made the mistake of giving my piggies spinach every few days, 3-4 pieces to each. The pet store told me it was a great daily snack. I should have known to take pet store employee's advice with a grain of salt. Thanks for all the great tips!
I think the Cabbage debate also comes from the fact that cabbages are gassy and can cause bloat in guinea pigs. I also noticed they enjoy eating corn husk during the summer which is a good snack that's high in fiber and low in sugar Thank you for the informative video!
I've never seen that problem in 32 years. No one should feed too much of any vegetable. My guinea pigs get sweetheart cabbage leaves pieces, several times a day. They and I 😂 hate Savoy cabbage and it contains less nutrients than other types of cabbage. Red cabbage has the most nutrients 👍
@@piggie1018 is it ok to only feed romain lettuce and cucumbers and carrots and cilantro and tamatos and bell peppers and apples but the apples only 1 a week per gyinea pig
@@xxvplaggvxxurmom2570 not really. They need varied diet, so u really need to start increasing the variety of veggies in your piggies diet, so starta introduce other vegetables in your pigs diet, like endive, escarole, chicory, radiccio, swiss chard, collard greens, kale (dinossaur or common) dandelion greens, parsley, celery, green leaf, red leaf, butterhead, oak leaf lettuce, etc.
I've heard this myth many times.. It's same with bell pepper seeds. They are not a chocking hazard eighter. This myth seems to just circulate around the guinea pig community.. My guess is that older guinea pigs might have a harder time dealing with them..
Don’t have to no? But like I do anyway cause they are so messy 😂 LOL those little things get everywhere it’s worse then piggie poops LOL like little pepper poops lol 🤣❤️
Ginny pig Vegas Bell peppers any color. Green Power Mix: This one is great for healthy guinea pigs and is geared more towards younger guinea pigs. 1 outer leaf of green leaf lettuce 3 to 4 strands of parsley ¼ slice of green pepper . Rainbow Mix: This is great all-rounder with colorful veggies! If you have a guinea pig with a bit of sweet tooth, they will love this! ½ of baby carrot 1 stick of chopped celery ¼ slice of yellow bell pepper Urinary Health Mix: This one is great for adult guinea pigs. Especially great for guinea pigs with previous history of UTI or stone. 1 quarter of cucumber 1 outer leaf red lettuce (or more than 1 inner leaf to match the size) ¼ slice of red bell pepper Info Red leaf and green leaf lettuce Please I should take up to 85 to 90% of a ginny pigs diet can be feed once a day, feed them a few leafy greens per Ginny #2 Cucumber can be a staple and can be added with most meals high in watter low in Other nutrients good for hot days! #3 bell peppers great source for vitamin C, green and yellow bell papper can be feed day , because they are low in sugar content Red and orange are higher in sugar so be aware. 1/6 to 1/8 of a bell pepper and day #4 Zucchini is a great source for vitamin C and can be alsmot feed daily and a good amount of Calcium for healthy bones a bit of less then half a cup sould do it per day #5 calary can be feed 1 to 2 times a week not to much it can lead to track stones in bladder and pee. Make sure to cut it up into small half inch so they dont choke, one stock is enough for one ginny #6 Carrots should only be said in moderation though Guinea pigs love them they are high in vitamin sand sugar can be feed a few times a week one or 2 baby carrots per Ginny
They do that at the start. I recommend putting the houses in each corner tightly. Or even putting Velcro on your fleece and Velcro is to the ground of the cage. Idk if that'll help but that the best advice I can give.
RED pepper has the highest amount of vitamin C! Not yellow! Also pepper seeds are perfectly fine to feed! Some seeds are poisonous in some things but pepper seeds are fine.
I've fed pointed/sweetheart cabbage to guinea pigs for the 32 years that I've owned them and haven't had any problems with bladder stones in them or gas. Full of vitamins and minerals. The advice online is often so contradictory and confusing to people because it often differs. The white liquid (laudanum?) in Romaine leaves kind of puts me off giving it to my piggies too often. Thank you for the good video.
@piggie101 what cage size did u use? and did u use a loft? and a stand? and a lid? sorry for all the questions but i want to get a rly big and spacious cage for them
Hi! I really enjoy your videos. I am new to guinea pigs for the most part, so have been doing research on caring for them, as I intend to purchase two girl piggies this autumn. Loved the way you put this video on vegetables together. I have a question for you. The only space I have free to house the guinea girls, is in my bedroom. Do you see any huge issue with this? I look forward to your answer, and opinion on this. Thanks, and take care.
Would not recommend having Guinea pigs in your bedroom as they are messy and loud. They could wake you up during the night as they only sleep in small intervals. Other than that though, its generally fine; and best if having them in your bedroom will provide them with the most space:)
Ok i seen you talk about the stalk and silks of corn but I didnt see you say anything about the corn or baby corn because i have seen online that they say you can give them baby corn but i dont believe it and want your oppinion. ❤
Hello I had a question about your fleece li ners. I know that fleece liners should have an absorbent layer but how did you get the raised edges around the cage. I’m considering fleece liners and I know my pigs would make a mess without raised edges
Yes, they can be given, but only 2-4 times a week. The portion p/guinea pig of dill is the same as fennel, and the portion p/guinea pig of basil is 3-5 medium leaves.
I really need help! My guinea pigs have been sneezing a lot often and due to COVID and my parents being strict, I don’t know if I could take them to the vet. Please reply some suggestions on what I could do to stop my guinea pigs from sneezing. Also if nothing helps, I’ll sure take them to the vets! Thank you 🙏
Fun memory: I was abruptly ejected from a Guinea Pig Facebook group after recommending cherry tomatoes as a snack as several our pigs were not fond of citrus fruits
HELLO! I KNOW GUINEA PIG MUST NOT EAT POTATO BUT MY GUINEA PIG ATE IT. MY MOM BOUGHT VEGETABLES AND KEPT ON FLOOR AND MY GUINEA PIG WAS ROMING AROUND AND ATE 1 BITE OF IT.. WHAT SHOULD I DO..
I have 2 piggies. I managed to convince mom by first letting her know that I'm interested in owning them. Let her know that u have been doing research and that u know the proper care for them. But dont push it too much. You dont want her to become annoyed. Offer to help with things she needs to do and let her know that your responsible. It might take time but it is definitely very worth it. Hope this helped ❤
@@killuapleasekidnapme11 tysm for replying, and i will try ty for the advice, i think she knows im responsible bc ive owned a few animals in the past, and i own 4 at the moment, 3 fish, and a cat, i think she just doesnt like how they poop and pee everywhere but ill try to convince her, ill do try my best to get them, i hope i get them soon bc my birthday is august 1st but yea tysm :)
@@spxderman3363 no problem I was under the same boat for a while. I bet your mom will come around eventually. They can be messy and a handful alot of the time but I promise u it's worth the work and effort.

That's an excellent video. It's important to introduce new veggies gradually and to not over feed too much of the same vegetable. 🥰
I like your videos! I'm glad you're posting again, I love the cage. I'm getting two piggies in about two months and I can't wait

So sweet!!! Every piggie parent should watch this 👍
I guess it is quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Kash Mitchell try flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
@Peter Guillermo Yup, been watching on FlixZone for years myself =)
@Peter Guillermo thank you, signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it!
@Kash Mitchell Happy to help :D
I always get excited when you upload😊
You do not have to remove the seeds from tomatos, they have no harm as they are soft and not a choking hazard

I need help I just got my piggies and they are pulling back there fleece and tunneling around under it I have no idea why they have plenty of hides
They do that at the start. I recommend putting the houses in each corner tightly. Or even putting Velcro on your fleece and Velcro is to the ground of the cage. Idk if that'll help but that the best advice I can give.
They are skittish is the bigging, its normal:)
They like it, it’s cozy. mine did this until I made some cuddle tunnels. Now they haven’t done that since
RED pepper has the highest amount of vitamin C! Not yellow! Also pepper seeds are perfectly fine to feed! Some seeds are poisonous in some things but pepper seeds are fine.
I was wondering! She saying yellow but I’ve heard red!
It is in fact yellow.
