Junior Guinea Pig
I was just curious if my feeding routine sounds okay?
My daughter usually wakes me up at 8.30 to 9am. So I've been giving the piggies their breakfast veg at 9.30, cause I'm awake by then pretty much every day. They get a bowl full of veg between them. I'm not sure what the exact quantity I give them is, it's just a normal sized guinea pig/rabbit bowl full of various things. It normally takes them about 6 hours to eat it all, they sorta munch on it throughout the day. I don't think I give them too much, I think they just aren't that keen on the veg I've given them so far.
Then they get their tea nuggets at 5.30. I give them two handfuls between them. I have very little hands, so my two handfuls only just cover the bottom of the bowl, again, it's just a normal sized guinea pig/rabbit bowl. They normally take a whole 24 hours to eat them, I don't think they like them that much. I'll be trying different ones when this bag has nearly run out.
Then at 8pm they get a "dessert", which is a bowl full of fresh grass and dandelion leaves from the front gardens. This is the ONLY thing they eat all in one go and get super excited for!
Does this sound okay? I was thinking of adding another meal around lunchtime, so like 1-2pm. Probably 1.30. But they've always still got nuggets and veg in their bowls at this time, so maybe I could add in another bowl of grass and dandelion leaves/flowers?
Obviously they have unlimited hay and water too. ^_^
