Pippy & Daisy
Junior Guinea Pig
Wasn't quite sure which forum this would fit best in but I've popped it in here since it didn't really fit anywhere else!
Anyway, my two girls have a bad habit of scoffing down food way too fast and often end up having a bit of a cough. It usually happens when they're having a big meal but sometimes it even happens with hay! I'm not worried about it as a health problem as I'm positive it's just because they're greedy eaters, but I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to stop them eating so quickly? The sound still scares me sometimes! Would cutting the food smaller help? Or giving them smaller meals more often rather than two biggish ones a day? Or should I just ignore it?
