I second piggie parcels, lovely forage too.

Noticed my two pigs poos were bit smaller than usual and got me thinking about how much I should feed them. I use to feed them a bit much when they were little but now I'm not sure if I feed enough. They get about 12 pellets each so that's 24 pellets scattered around the cage for foraging and a...

Thanks for the response! I do have foraging mats for each of them, theyre like those fabric ones which I put ~1/4 of their food into, and the other 3/4 into a bowl. I lovee the idea of spreading their whole diet out a bit more and making them look for it! I tried it this morning, about 2 hours...

That's excellent, our wees are very white. MS: Polo charges around the pen and wrecks the Correx with his teeth and then stands in front of his pellets bowl, all meaning when are my pellets going to arrive? Polo: What am I going to do 😎🙁

...of their own kind. They are not going to be running around constantly, they will be affected by the heat of the day etc. they will forage, nap, forage and then nap again. They are crepuscular so are most active in the early mornings and late evenings and will spend a lot of the day...

...This is not a problem but it would mean you would need to make sure you are feeding a good variety of veg (and if and when available wild forage) to make sure they are getting enough of everything else. Piggie Parcels is a very good and highly recommended make. The owner of the company of a...

...the feed which went down very well. A guinea pig’s normal diet should be natural anyway as it’s primarily hay and veggies. Treat stuff like pellets, pea flakes, forage can be good. Have you come across Piggies Parcels at all ? It’s run by forum member @Guineautopia and all her stuff is natural

Just shopping for some more forage and came across the piggie parcels joint and urinary support pellets. Has anybody tried these? As my boys are now elderly floofs these do sound good, could go half and half with their regular nuggets or something :)

...cup being the recommended amount. I feed a little over one cup as I don’t feed pellets and instead give plenty of hay and grass and natural forage and actually a rather wet diet, this encouraging plenty of good urination and not risking stagnation in the urine. As I don’t feed pellets I...

...soup from a healthy companion is absolutely fine, otherwise fibreplex or pro c are commonly used probiotics I personally wouldn’t give dried forage and pellets both at 1tbsp each. Others possibly do but pellets and dried forage are, proportionally, the same part of the diet. I would give a...

Mine always thought cucumber was a great treat even though it was fed regularly. Pea flakes and forage were well received treats. A hay cookie was also regarded as a great treat.

...nice lap time. But when I put him back in the cage he made that little "burr" sound. Were my feelings hurt? A little. The boys had their veg, forage, spot clean. Chez never touches his pellets but maintains his weight. Poo soap did wonders for Stripe, much better than the benebac. It's...

...Keep in mind that hay and fresh grass is making over three quarters of what guinea pigs eat in a day and that any veg, fresh and dry forage, pellets and any treats all together only replace the supplementary role that wild forage used to have. Also make sure that you keep any human food in...

...they enjoyed eating when given the choice, as it were, grazing among the various plants, and sometimes dry it for the winter too. I assume forage (as a noun) means wild herbs? Of course they have nutrients and some medicinal properties too. I presume human foraging websites will give you...

Brillo had his favourite dry forage mix and oat Readygrass this afternoon. He has a very sensitive tummy these days so we have to be careful. As much as we'd love to spoil him it's horrible having to deny him his veg when he gets soft poop!

We've been using flour and water to stick seeds to cardboard pumpkins for Teddy the hamster and the kiddos were wanting to make something similar for piggies (with forage not seeds obviously) but from what I can tell flour and water isn't safe for piggies- is there a safe alternative? Thankyou :)

You will need to ensure there is a constant supply of fresh grass in their cage at all times until you can get hay. Also ensure that their poops remain normal. Lots of grass and no hay has the potential to cause soft poops - while it sounds like they are used to grass and fresh food which is...

I agree. I went on a mushroom foraging course last year and basically scared myself into never foraging again. It really is risky business.

So I went to give the boys some forage this afternoon and a saw about 10 bugs in the tub. So maybe they came in with the forage and mated?

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate 😊 The boys got a treat - a forage wheel made of meadow hay, dandelion, and marigold. They tucked in together and then immediately went to sleep it off The carrot cottage has survived, just, but it is now tipped sideways while they finish it off!
