Guinea Pigs do A LOT of eating! Let's just say it's extremely high on their list of priorities 😄 Which means its down to us guinea pig owners to make sure we feed a complete and healthy diet! This video follows my herd of four guinea pigs around and looks at everything their loyal servant (hooman) brings them to eat over the course of one whole day 🐹💗 Hope you enjoy!

A few days ago I put up a small pigmas/Christmas tree (because I have two) in my piggies room! And last week I made homemade guinea pig treats (I used one of kavee's recipe videos) they were supposed to look like a Christmas tree or a star but they looked nothing like that, but the guinea pigs still loved them! (thankfully!)🐹🐹💖🍬😄

My two boys (Cookie, a tri-coloured Peruvian and Chestnut, a Rex) have selective naturals grain free and the Timothy hay blend from Haybox (many thanks to Sarah). I've started to treat them to the orchard hay from haybox as a treat hay when out for laptime. Veggies are constantly wanted in our house when the fridge is opened or we hoomans are eating tea. Moderation is still implemented though but they don't seem to take no for an answer. We've tried the herbal blend and botanical blend from haybox but the herbal blend is the definitive favourite amongst our herd.

Such happy piggies! I love watching them enjoy their food and treats ❤️ Btw I notice you use a plastic cutting board for their veggies; you might want to switch that for bamboo or wood. Plastic cutting boards hold a lot more bacteria and they also release microplastics into the food you prep on them. Wood and bamboo are much safer and easier to keep clean

@SqueakDreams 7 ай бұрын

Thank you and ooh thank you for the advice on the chopping board, something I've never really thought of but will definitely replace it! 😊

Wood is porous so it's easier for it to trap bacteria and mold spores

@stellangios 7 ай бұрын

@@fawn2911 Nope, they used to believe that but it isn't so. Wood kinda pushes the bacteria back out, whereas plastic just gets knifed up and has a lot of tiny gaps that hold bacteria. Of course you still have to wash a wood or bamboo cutting board but it's MUCH cleaner and safer than plastic. You can go ahead and research it and you'll find that the recommendation against wood cutting boards is no longer valid.

@jaytucker8834 7 ай бұрын

@@stellangiosabsolutely, I binned my plastic chopping boards years ago and replaced them with wood. Saw a scientific demonstration where they looked under a microscope at the two types, which clearly showed the plastic one with a steady growth of bacteria and the wooden ones far less so. Also explained that wood contains some antibacterial properties 😊

About fresh food: We have had a Guinea Pig with diabetes. We discovered that because he had stare in both of his eyes at the age of 1 year old. He even was blind after a while at this young age. So we had to feed him only with (Timothy-)hay and fresh food. (And 1 pill Glibanese a day from the vet). I should give fresh food 🥬every day anyway.

I am at my wit's end when it comes to hay. I thought my piggies should only have timothy hay so I make sure they have a constant source. Today I purchased a full bale because with three pigs it seemed more cost effective. I'm in Canada. I'll spare you the details of getting it home in my hatchback, with allergies and asthma and the ensuing hay mess all over the car, not to mention lifting it and getting it into the house. Golly. So I think I will have it delivered from now on. So, orchard or meadow hay is just as good for their health as timothy? I keep finding conflicting information. Help please Sarah, if you happen to see this.😃

Hii! I have a question about feeding and amount of food to give to guinea pigs. I have 2 ladies, and I am fairly new to having such small pets so in the start I fed them too much. Now they are very big and I think in the upper bracket for how much they should weigh and I don't know how to make them lose weight and not underfeed them? My vet, who looked at them for a health check, didnt mention anything about weight-loss, so I am turning to you for help. Please and thank you for any response!

I also really appreciate I can be part of this community to make better world for guinea pigs. I wish merry pigmas to everybody.

Thank you! No need to grate the carrot. Don't feed too much/often as it is quite sugary, a few times a week is fine 😊. Roxy is part Abyssinian and probably part Peruvian, though her hair is not that long it is extremely smooth and soft. Merry pigmas to you too! 🎄🥰

I know you were asking squeaks but I’m going to give you my opinion on it in case she doesn’t answer. 😅 Iceberg lettuce isn’t really recommended because it has very little to no nutritional value, meaning it doesn’t really make sense to feed it. It’s mostly water, so if you feed piggies a high amount of it, it might cause an upset stomach as too much water isn’t that good for the digestive system. Other lettuces such as romaine lettuce are better.

What kind of cage do you currently have? Is it standing or on the ground? If it’s a c and c cage or something bigger, you could try to make the sides higher. The bottom of my cage is a shower curtain which is easy to modify. If you don’t already, you could also put some sort of plastic tray or litter box where their hay is placed, which helps contain most of it.

Salads and cucumbers is a no no. Do not mix it together. Your piggies will have gas. And that’s a dangerous thing for pigs. Do not give watery vegetables every day! It’s the first thing you will hear from a vet. If you don’t want to kill your piggies, people listen to it and never do it.

@SqueakDreams 7 ай бұрын

Watery veggies are fine and good for staying hydrated and for piggies who are susceptible to bladder sludge. Gas can be caused by vegetables like cabbage, broccoli, spring greens etc, so best feed only occasionally. If you notice soft stools or sloppy poop, cut all fresh foods out entirely and find the right balance that works for your individual piggies.
