Hello! So I have quite a picky little piggy who only eats GREEN vegetables. I've tried bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower etc but she only likes green. Even so, she will only eat the outside of a cucumber and will leave the inside. She eats different salad leaves (if they are green...

I'm getting my daughter guinea pigs next weekend and I wanted to have a shopping list/meal plan for the Vegetables in the first month or so while we get used to the process. We'll adjust as we learn their likes/dislikes, but I wanted somewhere to start. I used ChatGPT to help me make this plan...

Oh Pino, what is it with you and teeth. Are you doing this deliberately to get shredded vegetables? Maybe your mummy should super glue them in. Glad Kylie is doing well. Streaks of bad luck never last forever. Hang on in there

Welcome to the forum. I wouldn’t worry too much about a green vegetable focussed piggy. As long as she’s getting a variety of green vegetables she’ll be getting enough vitamin C. There is no need for vitamin C drops. Have you tried coriander as another herb ? It can safely be fed every day. If...

Sir George, you are looking very regal, watching over your veg pile. 🩵 You are always welcome here for a boys holiday, Wally & Herman will happily help you eat your vegetables super quickly!

Do you like mini cucumber? I think it's my piggies favourite vegetable 👍

...It’s good that you went to the vets and have some medication. If she’s struggling to eat try syringe feeding and offering her shredded vegetables. Checking her weight daily will help you keep track of whether she’s eating enough. One of the healthiest experts will be able to help better but...

Haha poor Barbara! In other news my sister sent me some surprise vegetables from Rabbit boxes and now my fridge looks like this- we have no space for human food!

Oooh, sounds interesting - we shall request some for when the hooman is shopping

Hi everyone. He has a vet appointment at 4 tomorrow. He still is refusing critical care. He’s started not eating all of his vegetables too. He’s eating hay right now, which I’m very glad for. I really hope we can just find a way for him to not be in pain and uncomfortable anymore. That’s all I...

Piggies can be such fussy creatures can’t they! My budgies only eat orange vegetables like carrot. Anything different colour-wise gets tossed out of their cage or left untouched. At least she’s chosen the best colour of vegetables to favour 💚

So good to hear positive news. Glad all went well for Onyx. After Phoebe had some dental work I was advised to shred her vegetables into thin, manageable strips to make it easier for her to eat.

...its still going the last watery one was 3 hours ago, the closest exotic vet gave me appointment for saturday what should i do while i wait? I wanted to go sooner but thats what they told me, she keeps drinking and eating hay and seems much active as always, i didnt give her vegetables last night

Thanks for all the kind replies. Here’s a few pictures from happier times, this time last year I managed to get her to eat a vegetable after weeks of syringe feeding.

...around but I still can't find a solution! I have adopted 3 guinea pigs and in the shelter they told us we should give them 200 grams of vegetables to each of them per day On internet the only thing I am able to find is this 1 cup of vegetables, some people say this is 30 grams some others...

Sorry I have so many questions

So sorry that your piggy is sick. A vet trip would be wise. If his droppings are soft and wet you need to cut out vegetables and weigh him daily to ensure he’s eating enough hay. Hope he’s ok. Please let us know how you get on at the vet.

Thank you for all these replies. <3 I really appreciate it. I've made an appointment for Monday, only time we can get him in. So for now, I will weigh him daily and cut off the vegetables. Will give an update when I hear more. I'll also take a read of those guides too, thanks again.

Make sure you are dissolving the tablet and administering the antibiotics by syringe. Sprinkling a tablet on vegetable is wholly unreliable method of providing the accurate dose not a suitable way to give them to your piggy
