Hi quite new to forum.
I have 2 boys aged 10 months. These are our first guinea pigs we have had.
I do wonder sometimes if i am giving too much or not enough and would appreciate advice from yourselves a lot of you seem to have years of experience with piggies.
My boys do seem to be very healthy / full of life with lovely coats on them but i don't know whether to give more food or less. So here as follows
Morning=
1 small/medium piece of broccoli each
1/2 baby sweet corn each
slice of cucumber each
slice of banana each
small piece of red pepper each
small piece carrot each
either small piece of apple /pear or melon each
Small piece of orange
Tea Time = The same as above
Night / before we go to bed = 1/2 baby sweetcorn each.
On a daily basis they also get 3 - 4 handfuls of Timothy Hay each / and there bowel is filled up with guinea pig nuggets
Also once a week i give them treats as follows
1 handful of dried dandelion feast each (pkt from pets at home)
1 handful of dried clover & plantation each (pkt from pets at home)
1 dandelion & grass stick each (pkt from pets at home)
3 treat um's each /( maintain healthy skin & coat / prevent hairballs / control cage odours) pkt from pets at home
1 muffin each (pkt from pets at home)
3 carrot drop buttons each (pkt from pets at home)
1 handful of dried apple in bowel with food once a week (pkt from pets at home)
Probiotic drinks in water and vitimin c (alternate when changing water)
So could anyone tell me is this enough and am i doing ok or should i be giving them something else
Thanks
