Rabbit or guinea pig pellets are available at good pet stores
Guinea pigs shouldnt ever have rabbit pellets!
Guinea pigs need fresh, clean unsprayed grass every day to supply vitamin C which the body cannot store. An alternative to grass could be hay or lucerne.
this to ma states that one or the other is fine,when in actual fact piggies should always have hay.
They can also be fed any or a mixture of the following:
Cabbage (small amounts), apples, cauliflower leaves, lucerne hay or
Lucerne hay is not recommended unless the piggy is young or a sow is pregnant.
They can also be fed any or a mixture of the following:
Cabbage (small amounts), apples, cauliflower leaves, lucerne hay or chaff, celery, tops or stalks (washed),
No mention that the stringy bits on celery can be unsafe
lettuce (small amounts),
once again no mention of ice berg lettuce being bad
Hard-dried wholemeal bread makes a change and is good for their teeth, as well as rolled oats or hulled oats
What reason is there to say that piggies can have bread,they should be eating hay,pellets,veg,fruit,grass
Guinea pigs are almost too easy to breed: females can become pregnant again within 12 hours of giving birth
my understanding is that pregnancy can happen sooner than 12 hours afterwards
Short-hairs usually have four babies per litter and long-hairs, two.
i never knew breed determined numbers
Each guinea pig should be allowed a minimum of 30cm2 space (12" x 12").
i think this is much to small
Guinea pigs will happily live by themselves but if buying two ensure they are both females as two males can fight, and the alternative is a population explosion.
guinea pigs majority of the time love friends and are not at there happiest on there own,and as stated many people on here have two males so its downright wrong to make boars out to be hard to house together
These are easy-to-keep pets for almost any situation as long as they are protected from predators
i dont think piggies are easy keep,they take alot more than this site makes out
I think this site is very wrong and that is the reason i posted it
