It is correct that guinea pigs cannot make their own vitamin c. However they get all they need from their vegetables and pellets and must not be given extra supplementation. As I said, there are no long term owners who ever give supplementation on the forum. We do not see scurvy cases in...

...morning weight checks and syringe feeding If there is any chance she has digestive issues or bloating then please do not give her any vegetables at all as it could make things worse (especially things like broccoli which we known to cause bloat). Also, only weigh her once a day, in the...

Hi, please can someone advise what vegetables you can give with no restriction? There’s so much contradicting advice out there I’m not sure what is safe daily and what isn’t. I just want to know what veg I can give them without worrying if it’s too much of not! Thanks in advance..

...her age, what would treatment look like? I'd like to be knowledgeable before going into the vets. Overall she is healthy, just under 900g weight, blind in one eye. She does have issues with her stomach, it's extremely sensitive and I have a very strict amount of vegetables I give because of this.

Oh, I see. Haha, then I misunderstood. But my mother sprinkled it on the vegetable leaves and she didn't know and ate it. Haha.

Ophelia has dark paws but Bianca is more dramatic (even when she hasn't been hurt). They usually sit in a cuddle cup, and wriggle a bit. (No, don't hide!) If we accidentally cut the quick, there is a little squeak, slaves apologise over and over again, stop the bleeding, and give vegetables.

...pig seems to be eating and drinking normally, but its weight is now less than 900 grams. My mother feeds it 6 grams of guinea pig food and vegetables every day. Now it drinks less water and eats less than before, but it still eats. The doctor said to let it run around more so it can eat more...

...He hasn't been drinking very well since surgery but we tried to make up for it by providing Critical Care in a relatively sloppy form and soaking his usual vegetables overnight in water. His stools are a bit looser than normal. His wee appears to be clear - no obvious white spots or blood.

...hand, he is very popular with all the females, so I’m hoping they’ll accept him back. What is the best course of action? Also, do you have any good tips for preventing new stones from forming? I’m already feeding him only low-calcium vegetables, minimal pellets, and Timothy hay. Thanks a lot.

...and co- trimoxazole. I’ve noticed that her poop is very small and dry. I’ve given her a few pieces of cucumber and I do give wet vegetables. In terms of everything else, she’s moving and eating and going to the toilet. She also doesn’t look or feel dehydrated. - Changed diet to a low calcium...

...they consume right now as they are healthy weights and have not had any issues with their calcium. They get unlimited hay and 1 cup of vegetables a day and I don’t offer vegetables that have high calcium for this reason. Again I do appreciate the information. My concern with this thread was...

...yesterday my guinea pigs (2 boys, 11 months old) were passing pointy and soft poops, it seemed they might have just had too much watery vegetables so I took them out of their diet for the day to encourage them to eat more hay and pellets, I also weighed them both at that point. The next day...

I'm not sure I have a stopwatch fast enough! 🤣 Any specific vegetable and or amount?

HUGE HUGS Fingers very firmly crossed for both of you. My thoughts are with you.

Please don’t worry yourself although I understand that’s easier to say than to do. As @Roselina said, you are obviously a very caring owner My piggies live indoors and always have done. They don’t get outdoor time because we have too many birds of prey around and I won’t risk them being scared...

Thankyou so much for responding and for the advice you gave me! I usually give him whatever vegetables we have in stock but he’s allways been a picky eater and hates eating the same vegetables more than twice in a row so I guess that can be a reason why. I was just worried of the idea of him...

...veggie dice or stripes… I noticed that whenever he tries to eat, he repeatedly sticks his tongue out and makes exaggerated chewing or jaw movements, almost as if he is trying to reposition food in his mouth or dislodge something. After taking a few bites, he then refused any additional...

Unfortunately, Mimiu passed away this morning. Today at 5 am he still ate his vegetables and seemed normal... When I went to check around 1pm he was dead, cold, with no signs of injuries, nothing. The cage full of diarrhea... I am incredibly sad right now and I can't stop crying wondering...

I’ve never had a guinea pig with a bladder stone yet I also feed some high calcium foods. I feed parsley most days. However, I feed a very wet diet. I have numerous bottles and bowls of water in various parts of the cage too. When you think about guinea pigs in the wild, they will eat a lot of...
