    Stopped eating pellets

    You still need to keep her off vegetables for a 24 hours after poops normalise. If you add veg back in too soon you will just unbalance everything again. It’s recommended to start with just one sprig of a her as they are milder on digestion. If she is ok with one sprig for a day or two, then...

    Ad libitum fresh greens

    I suggest you have a look at the feeding guides on the forum. Much of the advice on what veggies to feed are there too. There are people here who feed more than a cup of vegetables per day as well

    Hi, I have read the information about vegetables. I wonder whether these vegetables are suitable for daily feeding. See link to Dutch websites behind it, because I have doubts about the English translation. - Chicory Witlof - Endive Andijvie I read a lot about lettuce, but this is not always...

    Ophelia

    ...as Ophelia). It has been interesting watching him take cues from Ophelia’s behaviour and copy what she does. When we are putting their vegetables into their bowls, Ophelia just cannot contain her excitement: she runs round and round in circles, dashes up and down the ramp, clambers onto the...

    ...grass? If so, please let me know the specific names, as I’m not very knowledgeable and am afraid of buying the wrong ones! Thank you. What vegetables can he eat based on his condition? We are really clueless, and I don't speak the language, so I hope you can tell me the names of the...

    Diet - what veggies?

    ...or parsley instead. In the afternoon they get some pepper, cucumber and a variety of leaves. Very occasionally there’s a tiny chunk of apple or a strawberry top. Celery, fennel, red cabbage , green beans are all popular but only fed occasionally, some vegetables more occasionally than others.

    Feeding Fruit/Veg Scraps to Save

    Hi all. I was thinking of giving my guinea pigs more fruit and vegetable peels to save money. I was wondering which are safest and most suitable to be fed often. I mostly give them banana and orange peels which they love. Any other suggestions?

    Please help me, I am really helpless,

    ...food - that must always be available. Her poops like quite dark. That is generally a sign that they are eating too much fresh food (so vegetables or fresh grass) and not enough hay. Too much fresh food can cause the gut to become unbalanced and make them feel unwell. It can also manifest...

    Please help with figuringout ongoing health issue

    ...6 months later. In June, her stool was sent for testing, but no, they couldn't find anything strange there. Her diet consists of hay and vegetables and right now I'm logging all the vegetables she gets, to try to piece together any symptoms. So I'm trying to see if she is sensitive to any...

    Long term bloat? How/why or is it something else?

    ...and enjoying life. Your description of Maple Leaf, made me think of our current long term foster pig, Herman. Herman has struggled with vegetables previously, but we have since very slowly reintroduced them & he’s now eating them with no issues. Herman is exactly as you describe Maple...

    Sudden illness

    ...he is about 1 year old now, also screaming for food everytime she entered the room. This morning, Mime wasn't moving, he didn't eat the vegetables he loves so much and nothing about the hay, no screaming, and no pooping from him.

    Here´s a bit of an update! For almost 4 full weeks now my guinea pig has been completly off vegetables - she is getting her daily c-vitamin through either recovery plus (liquid feed) or C-vitamin drops (especially for guinea pigs).

    Coughing noises when eating

    ...so I'm wondering if its something else they do 'instead' of that, and that may be of concern due to that? He never makes this noise outside of eating. I have cut the vegetables smaller, and he still does it, he also does it whilst eating the dry food i give them in between the daily vegetables.

    Inoperable tumour

    This is very poignant. Now, whenever I go into the room, Ophelia immediately comes out to see me. This is very different behaviour as she had stopped doing so a long time ago, to the extent that we had her vet-checked relatively recently. If, over the past year, you had tried to guess which one...

    Weight loss advice

    Hi, sorry to hear about this, poor little chap. You need to get some Emeraid Sustain for herbivores as a matter of urgency, its expensive (between £17 online, more like £27 in shops for 400g, but you can get 100g to start with) but a piggy's life is worth a lot more than that. Get yourself some...

    Refusing bell peppers

    ...have been the most relaxed i've been. I thought i'd cracked it all - they are happy with their hay, and i made sure they have low calcium vegetables that are given in rotation so they do not get bored. The only thing i am asking them is to eat even just a little bit of bell peppers daily! Lol...
