Great that you’re giving them filtered water. I give my 2 roughly a tablespoon of pellets between them as you are doing. I use Science Selective grain free. An occasional slither of carrot is fine - it’s the sugar that’s the issue there, as it is with fruit. Other veggies that can be fed are...

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but our latest bag of Science Selective nuggets are smaller than usual in nugget size and so my piggies are convinced I'm trying to poison them and refusing to eat them. I was thinking of trying them on Burgess excel indoor nuggets because they have...

...expert of the forum for a second opinion 😊 Our piggies diet is the following: - no-limit hay, a mix of Timothy (either supreme science selective health or Timothy hay from Little hay company, depending on availability) and a softer, slightly less fiber hay from Little hay company. The mix...

My guinea pig stopped eating hay in January so we had her in for a dental where her back molars were filed down and also the front as they were angled due to overgrown back molars. She didn't go back to eating hay very much but continued to eat veg and her Timothy hay nuggets from selective...

Thanks @Merab! I was wondering if something like a Brita filters the calcium. I don't think it's something we need to do as our diet is pretty low calcium, aside from the question mark of the hay. I also think Ginny pretty much eats a tablespoon of pellets a day, tho we have been giving enough...

...as are the filters - I have a Brita one Sounds like the boys are settling in well always have 2 of everything - scatter the veg as it’s more fun to find etc I also use the science selective pellets (the grain free one) Poops and used hay make great garden compost We love lots of photos

I’ve tried Emeraid and Science Selective Recovery Plus for piggies of mine who have needed syringe feeding x

Any nugget which is Timothy hay or grass based. Something like science selective grain free is well recommended as a commercial product. The best I could recommend would be piggie parcels pellets - they are purely grass based. Piggie parcels is a company run by a member is this forum. (I don’t...

Yes you can if you haven't got already any other form of glucosamine to give them. But you can only give one source of glucosamine additive at once. It takes several weeks to build up gradually in the body so please do not panic if you have to wait a few days. Glucosamine is not an instant...

Hi thank you so much. I'm glad to hear that some of what I had been thinking makes sense. I'll take a look at the pages, can you recommend a recovery feed? He could not tolerate the science selective one that the vets gave me!

...but have become slightly more optimistic these past few days, mainly due to stumbling on the discovery that he will take soaked Science Selective nuggets from the syringe, I mixed some of the Critical Care in and add water. Start of week he would not take anything, started to make a really...

...a paper saying that too much vit d in guinaepigd can cause renal cysts and noticed that many of the more well known brands e.g. science selective and Burgess have twice the recommended daily amount for adults. (2k) I've found oxbow and Johnson's both containing 1k vit d so hoping this may do...

...over food, different to his, do we give them half and half tonight? I know you should do 75% 25 but it will be a different food for both of them? So 50 50 seems the only possibility. At some point I plan to change them to grain free but right now they are still having science selective normal.

Hello. I feed lettuce pepper cucumber and a green bean every day - sometimes forage dried or other and supper every night but is once a week of celery leaves, willow leaves , mint and coriander ( that’s 2- 3 times a week) They have science ( grain free ) selective pellets and piggy parcel...

...and I don't give her any of the manufactured treats. The only thing I think I need to change is her pellets, she is currently on science selective grain free which she loves, but I am aware it has timothy hay in. Any suggestions on alternatives with no timothy hay in? She is a 3-4 year old...

Mine love the Science Selective grain free pellets but they only get a small handful per day between them. I know a number of members have piggies who love the pellets made by Piggies Parcels

...care in addition? I'm also guessing that, going by the forum guides, I should treat this as mild bloat (the vet said it wasn't bloat, but I suspect it is a mild case) and stay away from any fresh veggies (just giving hay + pellets [he's on the science selective grain free]) for a few days?

I found that Bobby (my RB piggy) and Geoff wouldn’t eat the glucasamine pellets - I kept them and I mix them in with the science selective pellets and they get eaten - Freddy likes them and Geoff eats them now

...a different flavour. I've never had a guinea pig that would willingly have Oxbow Critical Care. I've found Burgess Dual Care or Science Selective Recovery Plus to be popular ones. You could try mixing a bit of pellet mush into the recovery food to make the taste more recognisable for her...

...of pellets but my guinea pigs are all over 2 and definitely do not need it so I don’t want them eating it. I have been looking for some pellets with alfalfa but the only ones I can find are the science selective ones but I’m not sure if there are any others that are better for a 8 week old pig.
