    I feed my two guinea pigs Hay, Pellets, Grass, dandelions and other fruit of veg such as Celery, Cucumber, Bell pepper, Carrot, Romaine lettuce and other greens we have in the fridge but I ALWAYS make sure it is safe for the guinea pig to eat first!

    Is vitamin c from oxbow okay for guinea pigs?

    • @GuineaPiggles
      @GuineaPiggles  3 роки тому +1

      Oxbow are a good brand so if your guinea pigs need vitamin c then they should be fine. But if your guinea pigs are given a variety of fresh veggies each day (which all piggies need) there is really no need for this as they'll get all they need in the veggies. Here's a video about some of the popular veggies that can be fed regularly ua-cam.com/video/PCDWC84eeHY/v-deo.html

    I have a question, it's maybe not about the information in this video, but when I'm cuddling with my guinea pig and she gets comfortable she usually pees. I don't know if I was cuddling with her to long I also can't see signs she wants to go back to her cage.
    Is this normal?

    • @GuineaPiggles
      @GuineaPiggles  3 роки тому

      It can take some time to get your guinea pig to trust you. You need to be really patient, quiet and still if you're hand feeding them for the first time. Persistence will pay off so try each day and you'll get there in the end. Also, if you have just one guinea pig she may be lonely which may make her less likely to come out of her hideout.

      They do need pellets because they're formulated with important vitamins for guinea pigs but they must be the proper guinea pig pellets and not those made for other pets :)

    • @GuineaPiggles

      Alfalfa is good for very young guinea pigs or pregnant/nursing guinea pigs but not for adult guinea pigs who aren't pregnant or nursing except as an occasional treat. Timothy or Meadow hay are the best types of hay - you might like this video we did on hay ua-cam.com/video/I0h_WriLmh4/v-deo.html
