It might be random but would it make sense to feed vegetables that have lower starch content? I just googled low yeast veg and things like carrots and corn etc can be high in carbs so try to avoid. And I’ve been feeding carrots more recently for sure.

She doesn't like dried grass, but she's okay with dried grass and Timothy grass from northern China.

I’ll weight him again in the morning. How long should he be off the vegetables?

...contacted the vet by phone to ask if I needed to come in. At that time, I was advised on one occasion to temporarily stop giving vegetables, and on another occasion to give some stool from my other guinea pig. Both times that seemed to help, but after 2–3 weeks a similar episode returned. I...

Cucumber is absolutely fine to feed, in moderation as always. Root vegetables are a special treat only occasionally given as they are very high in sugar. Our four do well on a basic mix of romaine lettuce, sweet peppers, and cucumber daily, with the occasional piece of carrot, celery or apple...

...to my recollection I haven't dropped him a single time when picking him up. Sometimes his cage mate climbs on his back when begging for vegetables – maybe this could have hurt him, I will not let him do this in the future. They also used to play with a tunnel they almost got stuck in once (it...

Hi At that age, treatment options are very limited and you and your vet may just decide to put up with it in view of her frailty. The baldness will continue to spread. I had to make that decision with my vet for my by then very frail 6/7 years old Cerian during the last few months of her life...

...per day (the four safe daily veggies are coriander/cilantro, lettuce, bell pepper and cucumber). However, if he has struggled with digestive issues relating to vegetables then you have done absolutely the right thing in keeping the veg portion of his diet to what you know he is comfortable with.

I think it’s limited because it doesn’t contain much. It isn’t hay based, it’s vegetable based. It only contains vegetables and vegetable protein extract, seeds and minerals

When guinea pigs are suddenly startled, in China we call this a stress response. I don't know what it's called where you are, but I'm sure you understand what I mean. Is it called desensitisation? What should I do now?

Straight forward but need an exotic vet with guinea pig experience, dozens of medications many not used for common pet species, syringes, a change of vegetable menu every few days, hand picked, safe grass, bottom cleans, weener cleans, to be able to eat every minute of the day (some chew even...

...take him to the vet, or wait a few days with a few alterations to his diet to see if his droppings improve? We do give them both a lot of vegetables during Christmas and New Year to celebrate, including carrots, lettuce (in Dutch we call it Krop Sla – I do not know the proper, English...

I forgot to say, when I put vegetables/leaves or treats around the cage they eat just fine. It is just when comes about the hay position!

...thought about it being rabbit food. This means that it is not fortified with vitamin c so you would need to ensure you feed a good mix of vegetables every day to ensure your piggies get enough vitamin c. The immediate issue will be that with the probability to her teeth are overgrown, she...

...hay feeder to hang over their litter tray for some hay fun. Does that sound like enough hay? Before we got them they had not had any vegetables. The staff gave them an apple slice each for our 3.5 hours ride home sunday, and we gave them a small cut carrot stick (think french fry size)...

Oh sorry! I meant more so as a smaller portion of the diet. Things like lettuce, wheatgrass, cucumbers, and celery are the main portion of their veg, but I like adding herbs, sometimes fruit etc. For that smaller portion, I was wondering how suitable and how often certain fruit and vegetable...

...believe we tried that brand so I will be getting it now! He gets a ton of Timothy/meadow/orchard hay, and each guinea pig gets a cup of vegetables each day, I do also make sure he gets an oxbow vitamin C treat each day. He does have a buddy that lives with him but she eats her oxbow...

Hi Water intake in piggies can vary enormously from those that do not or hardly ever drink to those that empty a whole large bottle in a day - it's actually all within the healthy limit. Just give Reggie time to settle and to establish his own normal and then take it from there. The good news...

...little bursts of energy where she will wheek at me, play around in her favourite places, eat a bit of hay and slowly munch her favourite vegetables. Right now she's rustling around in a paper bag :) I know this is the end of her life. The decision now is that she's going in to the vets today...

Update: I did ring up the vet for some advice. They said as long as she’s still eating and going to the toilet, they’re not worried. They said to keep giving cucumber/watery veg and syringe feed rescue food.
