...syringe. It's always disheartening when a piggy is not eating but the feeling of relief when they finally start eating is worth it! Wheatgrass is super easy to grow, I sometimes do it in the Winter. Do you know anyone with a garden who could possibly have grass? (Apologies if it's a...

Oh how stressful, have you tried mixing a little wheatgrass powder in with the recovery or mixing it with 1/3 of the liquid swapped for Apple juice? Also emeraid can be a short term change that gets their appetite back (it’s not high enough fibre for long term use). If he likes pellets then...

Great answers from @Siikibam Unsure on Wheatgrass sorry... Are they using the ramp? It does look a little steep... some piggies don't like ramps unfortunately As for floor time we always use a run and make sure there hideys are in it. Piggies tend to dislike open spaces without any cover...

Hi! Sadly there are very few vets with guinea pig experience in Canada. :( I am linking in @furryfriends (TEAS) for you. She runs a sanctuary for guinea pigs with chronic dental problems and is best poised to give you diet tips. We have a chapter on looking after dental guinea pigs that are...

...updated you guys if she still hasn’t put on any weight? May I know if there is any foods that I shouldn’t give her as she’s still young? So far I have given her Alfafa Hay, Timothy hay, pellets and some fresh veggies like carrot (once a week), lettuce and wheatgrass. Once again thanks everyone 😁

I’m syringe feeding him already ) (CC and wheatgrass powder). I’m still worried there is a URI there but we will see. He won’t eat chopped veg or softened pellets. I’m mad with myself because we do go for regular dental checks but he broke the top teeth so I didn’t do the last one (as they...

...be so hard sometimes. Would he eat from a bowl? I found that it was some relief when Iggy decided to eat in his own with a new mix of CC, wheatgrass powder and some nuggets. Could you try something like that to get him eating a bit on his own? Big hugs, it's not easy when they're reliant on...

...I also use the pouches of vegetable and fruit based baby foods too. I have used the Science Selective grain free nuggets and also the Burgess Dual Care. I also add Wheatgrass powder to the syringe food, from time to time. Porridge oats are easily eaten by piggies with dental issues too.

I actually grow them their own hydroponic wheatgrass which they love and give them apple peels already but thank you all for the suggestions. My niece was eating applesauce while watching TV with the pigs and it made me wonder.

Don't beat yourself up too badly; it is easy to miss dental problems because the signs can be very subtle.

...blueberries in it. If you give them a syringe full of it every now and then whilst feeding the pellets and/or recovery food it might get them more interested. I think TEAS uses wheatgrass powder too, mixed in with the food. Is that right @furryfriends (TEAS) ? My brain is rubbish at...

...the cob, carrot, flaked peas, porridge oats, to help get their weight back up, whilst they start to eat again, following dental treatment. We also use Fibreplex. Those of a low weight are also topped up with syringe food. We also add wheatgrass powder to the syringe food, if the piggy...

Excellent, brilliant news! I too have seen Simon and Kim, Barry is now our heavyweight piggy, he doesn't know when to stop eating :)) I've grown some wheatgrass in tubs for our boys, they love it :luv:

Thanks :-) Hopefully Clover will enjoy the wheatgrass! At the mo I'm using critical care and pellets mixed together but she isn't a lover! Feeding time at the zoo! Gordon has just turned around and done a lovely wee.....

Thank you - I will explore Aldi.

...grown around my city seeing as there are pesticides put down, along with cats and dogs using the grass to potty. I was looking into buying wheatgrass seeds to grow so my pigs can have some grass to munch on occasionally. I was wondering if anyone's done it before and reccomend it? If anyone...

Hi Guys! I was reading that TEA's uses wheat grass powder from Aldi. I was wondering if this is in a syringe feed or as an additional supplement how can this be given, has anyone else had any experience with it? I know sometimes Debbie isn't on the forum which is why I'm posting for other...

I’m not sure what catgrass is, never heard of it so can’t help you there. But you could grow wheatgrass and feed them that. If you search there’s a link to a YouTube video. The ramp does look a little steep I’m afraid to say, as it looks quite short. This thread is a good indicator of ramp...

I'm planning on getting some turf too, filling plenty of trays! Also hoping to grow wheatgrass soon for the piggies and cat, apparently it grows really quickly so fingers crossed!

I think wheatgrass and barley etc can be like cress where they just grow without soil. But it didn't work for me so trying another method. Don't want to waste the money I've paid and get no food at all
