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.

...if there’s anything safe I can feed him to help him gain some weight and keep his strength up. Should I just stick with his normal pellets, vegetables and unlimited hay, or is there anything else I can safely give him to help him gain weight? I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences.

...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

I am very sorry. Could you see whether hearing piggy voices from online videos or videos of your own could lure Winnie out?

Poor little fellow, his small world has been rocked 😔 I hope in due course a lovely down comes along and he will have a gal of his of own again. In the meantime, keep spoiling him, he will need it 🙏❤️ Rest easy at the bridge little Ophelia 🌈

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.

...done looking for bladder stones? I have cut his oxbow food back t 2 table spoons per day, fresh water daily, clean cage, very low oxylate vegetables, including pepper corn vitamins c. He is a happy little guy who loves to be held and to run around. He has been put on 2 different kinds of...

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.

Just as a note, this can be normal if they get a lot of vegetables. You do need to provide them with a water source, but they can get a lot of water through their diet. While it's not typical if I've given my pigs a lot of cucumber (for example, I wouldn't make it a big part of their regular...

She's moping about finding shade wherever she can.

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

She stayed at the vet. Her temperature dropped this afternoon and she was moving less. They put her back on antibiotics and inside a heated box. I was able to spend some time with her and she accepted to eat some vegetables.

Loud wheeking can be heard. “Who’s that?” I ask. “It’s Betsie,” says mini-slave, “she wants her vegetables.”

...her weight stayed the same - 945 g. That's better because when she was ill her weight dropped about 35 gram within 24 hours. Her poops also look better. How am I am to reintroduce vegetables? Is there any sample plan? And which vegetables are safer after tummy problems? Is there something to...
