  • •Make sure you wash your vegetables well before you give to your guinea pigs.
    •Please remember that any new foods should be introduced gradually to allow your guinea pigs’ digestive system to adjust, so they don’t get sick.

    • @PetiteCavy
      @PetiteCavy  4 роки тому +1

      Mamta Rani He is probably just a fussy eater and you can’t force feed him. Hay needs to be the largest part of the diet, so hopefully he is eating plenty of hay and you give extra vitamin C (in pellets or liquid form). I personally wouldn’t worry too much as long as he is eating plenty of hay and is not loosing weight. What about fresh grass, herbs and dandelion leaves, most piggies can’t resist them? Hope this will help! 💖

    Hello!
    I have two 6 year old female Guinea pigs with bladder stone. The vet told me to give them bell peppers and cucumbers. They both will not eat bell peppers and one will only eat cucumbers. I give them both organic romaine lettuce they both eat that. They do have bladder sludge so I am always worried about giving them things with too much calcium. I give them each an oxbow vitamin c tablet a day and they eat the oxbow adult Guinea pig food 1/8 cup each a day even less sometimes depending on how much they eat. And they get Timothy Hay. Any advice you have would help thank you so much!

      @jan-ic1sk 3 роки тому +3

      No, Hay is 80% of their diet it helps keep their digestive system healthy and their teeth healthy the fibre in hay is essential to keep a guinea pigs digestive system working. Without hay they may get serious health issues which may lead to death. Some cheaper options may be orchard hay, and meadow hay but Timothy is the best. If you can't get hay I suggest not adopting a Guinea pig if you have any questions feel free to ask!❤️✨🌸🦋☺️
