Usually about 5 minutes after a pile of vegetables has been polished off 😅

Changing or stopping the vegetables in her diet might help. The poop soup is a very good thing. It has to be really fresh. I hope your piggy gets better soon ❤️🙏

Hello! So I have quite a picky little piggy who only eats GREEN vegetables. I've tried bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, cauliflower etc but she only likes green. Even so, she will only eat the outside of a cucumber and will leave the inside. She eats different salad leaves (if they are green...

Thank you so much! We actually stopped all vegetables and fruit about 10 days ago, so at the moment she is mainly having hay. We suspect her gut flora may still be quite badly disrupted after the antibiotics, so we are really hoping the fresh poop soup and time will help everything gradually...

I'm getting my daughter guinea pigs next weekend and I wanted to have a shopping list/meal plan for the Vegetables in the first month or so while we get used to the process. We'll adjust as we learn their likes/dislikes, but I wanted somewhere to start. I used ChatGPT to help me make this plan...

Fennel is also nice for humans. Raw in salads or, my favourite, sliced and cooked layer with potato slices, baked in vegetable stock

...unfortunately has kidney failure as well as stones. He currently gets his pellets mixed with water and given by syringe. He barely eats vegetables anymore, although sometimes he will take a bite or two. His favorite vegatables are tomatoes, parsley, carrots, cucumber, and chard, and he also...

Please do not worry. Guinea pigs actually drink very little and they get most of their water intake from vegetables. Percy will drink if he wants to. He will not get dehydrated. Just keep an eye on them as they get to know each other but it all sounds good so far 🙂 Bumble and Percy are beautiful 🥰

...if she wasn’t eating hay, it would lead to so much more issues. Upon listening to her breathing, she said she had fluid in her lungs. We have put her in the run for Hamlet to see. We left vegetables for him but he hasn’t left the hay he went into when we took Ophelia out. We will post more...

Hamlet didn’t move from the hay he had been in when we took Ophelia, and hadn’t touched his vegetables. We put Ophelia in the run but he didn’t come out. Eventually he did and sniffed her and then we thought he would lick her but instead he pulled out a basil leaf from under her. Then he went...

...instructed me to avoid hay, leafy greens and hard foods during recovery to protect the surgical site and bone graft. Pellets and some soft vegetables are still being offered, but he is eating non of them. I tried soaking hay, mashing pellets with shredded carrots or veggies juice, and...

I'm not sure if this fits in health & illness support, but does anyone else just get randomly paranoid about waking up to a passed piggie? I'm not sure if its vet time or not but i swear one of my piggies is drinking less water than usual and seems less happy about veggies. Poops are good, still...

Oh Pino, what is it with you and teeth. Are you doing this deliberately to get shredded vegetables? Maybe your mummy should super glue them in. Glad Kylie is doing well. Streaks of bad luck never last forever. Hang on in there

Welcome to the forum. I wouldn’t worry too much about a green vegetable focussed piggy. As long as she’s getting a variety of green vegetables she’ll be getting enough vitamin C. There is no need for vitamin C drops. Have you tried coriander as another herb ? It can safely be fed every day. If...

Sir George, you are looking very regal, watching over your veg pile. 🩵 You are always welcome here for a boys holiday, Wally & Herman will happily help you eat your vegetables super quickly!

Do you like mini cucumber? I think it's my piggies favourite vegetable 👍

Piggies do not sweat so when it is hot you do not need to suddenly give extra vegetables - doing so can cause digestive imbalances. One cup of veg per day is enough but, As Wiebke has said, you can give a bigger chunk of cucumber than normal The guide below explains Hot Weather Management...

Haha poor Barbara! In other news my sister sent me some surprise vegetables from Rabbit boxes and now my fridge looks like this- we have no space for human food!

...It’s good that you went to the vets and have some medication. If she’s struggling to eat try syringe feeding and offering her shredded vegetables. Checking her weight daily will help you keep track of whether she’s eating enough. One of the healthiest experts will be able to help better but...
