Bell Peppers Etc.

[*Meg*]

how many bell peppers a day do you think 13 piggies will need? also those with a similar amount of piggies now much each of cucumbers/celery etc do you get? to last a week.

Bell peppers it's generally good to work on 1/8 bell pepper per piggy per day. So you'd probably use one and a half peppers a day roughly, so about 10 or 11 per week for 13 piggies.

For cucumber I give between 2-4 slices to my 2 piggies, so 1-2 slices per piggy per day. 1 decent size cucumber easily lasts a week between 2 guinea pigs. Youd probably need more like 1 a day for 13 piggies.

Haven't given celery yet so cant comment on that.

I have 8 piggies and get through 2 peppers a day but i use it as a treat too later on the night time I can't get off the sofa without them going crazy and then I feel guilty if I come back empty handed, cucumber I give 1 slice per piggy but I don't give this everyday maybe every other day unless it's hot weather and celery I've given up on no matter how small I cut it they still choke on it! I keep telling them to chew their food lol
