...was the same weight but yesterday he was 808 grams. i immediately began syringe feeding.
i know pellets are not ideal but they are scienceselective hay based pellets. he is otherwise healthy. it’s just that the trims are becoming closer and closer together and we haven’t done an x-ray yet...
I would say not instead of, I would use sparingly as a treat, the ingredients seem to list things I don't think they need every day and there is a long list of additives.
We use scienceselective pig food, but they only have a tbsp each pig per day. I can't find a pic of the ingredients.
...oxalates/oxalic acid. Most dark greens are high in calcium so go for the ones that are low in oxilates. The 2 lowest are kale & coriander. Change their nuggets to a lower calcium nugget. The lowest are ScienceSelective. Both the standard & grainfree are exactly the same so either of these...
...of the calcium in the water. Can I give them bottled water?
In the morning I give them fresh hay and two tablespoons of pellets (scienceselective) on their snuffle mat. In the evening I give them their vegetables, with some more hay. I was filling up too cups(I have for tea) for them but I...
...it for myself) maybe a bit of tomato on occasion, and never give them kale or anything else not listed here.
Pellets - they get scienceselective grain free pellets twice a day I'd say around a little more than a tablespoon each per day, and about a teaspoon of dried flaked peas each a day...
...- you can get certain bedding that is pellet-like, which is probably where the confusion is. Actual food pellets are something like ScienceSelective guinea pig food, or Versele Laga Cavia Complete. I don't know what brands you have available to you but whatever you use you need something...
...I just don’t trust myself. I want him to recover and thrive and I love the little guy and want what’s best for him so as soon as he’s stable and I feel comfortable I will definitely stop the pellets. As of today he ate scienceselective brand pellets with no issue so I’m really hoping he...
Any grass hay is absolutely fine.
I personally feed a mix of meadow and orchard hay.
Scienceselective nuggets are fine. Just ensure they are kept to one tablespoon per pig per day.
I personally feed Piggie Parcels pellets as they are 100% grasses so don’t contain the fillers in commercial...
...see if mine like it, in case I can't get a hold on the Emeraid in an emergency situation, as they don't like the Oxbow one and the ScienceSelective one. I thought it's good to know what support feeds they like before I have the need to use one and that it will take the pressure off of me to...
...bottled water but could I buy a water filter jug from Tesco? Says they filter out limescale? Is this calcium.
Also I have tried scienceselective grain free nuggets they won’t eat them. They have scienceselective normal nuggets 1 tablespoon per day. Cage is covered with meadow hay and...
Crisis averted! And partially my fault, when I rang the vet I said the words ‘critical care’, I forgot that what they use is actually ‘recovery plus’. So to be fair they did give me a type of critical care just not the one we were expecting! Science Select Recovery Plus it is, thankfully we...
I usually mix another brand in with them ScienceSelective or Burgess Indoor but because I couldn't find the smaller bags anywhere I got the 8 kg size and didn't want to open any more until I'd used the big bag up - typical they don't like them!
It depends what part makes the ingredients of the pellets
Hay and the bran would be ok
If the pellets also contain the alfalfa, wheat and straw I personally wouldn’t want to feed it. I do tend to avoid commercial items/pellets though.
But, they possibly contain more real ingredients than some...
As long as they're drinking it should be fine, excessive thirst is definitely a red flag if you notice it. I use water bottle for my piggies or from the water filter. You should be giving 1 cup of fresh vegetables per guinea pig each day. I stay away from fruits and only give them as an...
