Hi That is over 75 ml and that is a really good intake per session. - piggies need between 60-90ml but how much depends on the individual and also on the age; you are pretty much on the average. 18 ml is a very good amount; it means that her appetite is back. She will refuse when she is feeling...

Slight increase in weight and their grazing has been slowly introduced (poo normal) . Thank you

Awww, sweet! For my trio, it began with the two older piggies, Cerzon and Nebula, who bonded quite quickly in an odd way where they both enjoyed privacy and space while resting and to be close together when grazing. About three years into it, I introduced a very young boar, Alcatraz, to the...

She's willingly taking all of the food we give her in any one session up to around 18ml - any more than that and she starts fussing slightly! My concern is, with 4 relatively large feeding sessions per day, could mean she's effectively full from session to session, preventing her from wanting...

Guinea pigs are grazing animals, so evolved to spend many hours a day eating grass. The majority of their diet therefore needs to be grass hay (not alfalfa) and/or fresh grass in order to keep their teeth worn down ( which constantly grow) and GI tract working smoothly. It is hard to extract...

Well, I passed the cage this morning and they were companionably grazing together at the divider and quietly chatting to each other. So maybe they are going to be ok for now at least. Yesterday was all drama, bar-biting and rumbling and chattering. Popchop was hiding in his bed and refusing to...

Hi That is great news. You stop top-up feeding when the weight loss is mostly recovered/the weight has stabilised and the piggy is able to hold it without any support. Use our kitchen scales and weigh any ill piggy first thing in the morning for best day to day comparison. This gives you the...

Custard is still doing well - we’re still on 0.2ml of prednisolone liquid twice a day and 0.1ml of furosemide 3x a day. Since going back to the 3x a day of furosemide, her weight has stabilised at around 925-950g and she’s eating and active and bright. Her 4th birthday is next week! Trying not...

Hi I am very sorry but it sounds like the end of the road for them if there has been a bite to ear and not just an accidental misjudged back foot slash; since they are heavy-duty teeth chattering, feelings have been seriously hurt. Please separate the boys with a divider in the cage for two...

I’m so sorry to hear that. At least she’ll be reunited with her sisters. I'm sure that she’s happily grazing with her sisters in a big grassy field. Rest in peace 🌈🌈🌈

I have noticed since being on the grass the girls are eating very little hay . They are in at night and, weather permitting, out during the day . Should i restrict their grazing ?

Please don’t let this worry you - you won’t find a long term owner on here who tracks it in that way. You don’t need to - simply ensure you aren’t over feeding their portions and then If one gets more one than then the other has chance the next. Veg and pellets arent their main diet and are...

HUGS I am so very sorry that the saga continues but happy that Custard is still fine.

Their natural diet is grass, and hay is obviously just a dried grass. We feed hay because we wouldn’t be able to provide enough grass to meet their needs. It is how their gut is designed to function and is vital for correct dental wear. They spend a lot is time foraging and grazing and it...

I wouldn’t worry if they seem ok now. I put my pigs in their outside run the other day and someone started using a noisy electric saw. I thought they’d be terrified but they just stayed grazing on the grass

My piggies are usually only out on the lawn for 3 to 4 hours (late afternoon/early evening). So i don't usually give them any hay or pellets. They don't seem to mind and just graze on the grass.

Hi, the loss of herd members can sometimes affect herd dynamics more than might be expected. Do you know if Asu was top pig? It sounds like who is top pig out of Milky and Minka is not yet fully resolved, this may be because they are very closely matched in terms of where they naturally rank...

She is on pro C professional which i got from pets at home and also fibreplex but ive order some of those rabbit ones too just now. she might be tempted to graze on them, hope you cant give too much though?

So the new cage is up, a more complicated job than anyone expected because it turns out that Amazon Basics cubes, despite having exactly the same panel dimensions as the Songmics cubes we already had, have larger connectors and so are not compatible, and end up as a larger cage even with the...

The leadership contest in our house is getting very noisy these days. At one point my husband put on some jazz music during a particularly intense bout (coincidental, he just fancied some jazz) and the pigs immediately left off their dispute and went to sleep. Tonight, they were stressing me...
