•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.

Thank you so much! I give my two piggies 2-3 leafs of lettuce in the morning and afternoon depending on how big the leaves are, recently I’ve been mix in other veggies as well. Question: Are Kiwi and Apple okay for Guinea pigs? I’ve gotten mixed signals for Kiwi and apples are okay without the seeds but shouldn’t be given often due to high sugar but I was just double checking.

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!

Do you feed your guniea pigs pellets in the morning too or just veggies? My last guniea pig had to be fed pellets every morning. Also sorry for this second question but, if they dont dont eat alm the vegetables do you just take them out? And one more ( so sorry) what if they eat the other guniea pigs veggies would that be them eating too much?

Mireya Dominguez hi there! Although they're categorized as the same species of the ones in our grocery stores, the ornamental versions have been bred for looks, not flavor. In my opinion, you can try to feed your fur babies in moderation. 💖

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! 💖

@jan-ic1sk 3 жыл бұрын

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!❤️✨🌸🦋☺️

Oxbow Western Timothy Hay is a great option for their daily hay. If the guinea pigs are babies you’ll need alfalfa hay. Orchard grass hay is also grey to mix in with their timothy hay every now and again. Oxbow has all these hays available at petsmart or on amazon :)
