just wondering if anyone else had noticed different tastes between males/females? I have 4 girls and 4 boys and for example i gave them a corn on the cob, now the girlies eat it all in a matter of hours but the boys don't touch it...not even a nibble.
and at birthdays and christmas they get some chocolate drops (small animal ones) the girls take them from my hand but i could leave some in the boy's dish all day and nothing!
i thought maybe boys don't like the sugar content but they will eat apples!
anyone else seen this in thier piggies? :{
 
I don't know whether it's a sex thing, more of an individual thing. For example my boys do not like fruit, obviously not much of a sweet tooth! However I know that a lot of piggies do.
 
No differences whatsoever! Sometimes, the personal tastes of a top piggy can influence a pair's preferences.
 
In my experience its not the the sex its personal preference like humans have! My two current sows adore EVERYTHING from parsley to bananna and all the treats I buy they snaffle up!But in the past my guinea pigs only ate dried food and grass others just dried and carrots I could go on for hours:))
