Dont forget the unlimited supply of hay and the fresh water but I am sure you give that anyway. Its good to space it out. I guess quantity wise it would depend on the size of your bowls. Veg wise its good to feed a variety of veg they can eat allsorts of stuff baby corn, celery, brocolli, spring greens, melon, bananna with skin etc so its good to give them different things sometimes in addition to things you feed everyday like carrot, cucumber

but generally sounds good! :)
 
:) Thanks!

I o give them pleanty of hay(although we need a new bag soon!hehe :D ) and i refill their water bottle every day and sometimes a refill it in the morn,midday AND :o at night! :D

Thanks again

Amy
 
Mine love basil but they really like the bags of salad you can buy. The last one we got they loved it had frisee or somethin like that in it. I think mine get too much sometimes because they don't eat all of it :)
 
Tesco have alot of bags of salad that is 2 for £1.60 or you can go in later at night and you can get some reduced if your not sure if they will like it then that way your not wasting too much money :D
 
It's the first place my mum goes to. If she sees basil she runs so no one else can get it :D
 
Is it ok to give lettuce I"ve always been told no,but would be great if I could as I grow my own in the summer!!!
 
Any lettuce apart from iceberg.I'm not too sure but I think a small amount is ok? Better to ask someone else about that because I haven't given mine iceberg
 
I've been told to reduce the amount of carrot to only a couple of pieces a week as it can increase kidney/bladder stones so I've increased greens, herbs etc.

Yes i don't normally feed them carrott all the time.I feed it them on Monday and Thursday or when i'm playing with them they get a little bit.But when i play they normally have cucumber as its their fav!

Amy x

p,s is potato good for them?
 
I meant I'm not sure if you can give a small amount of ice berg lettuce. But any other is fine. Mine used to like the little gem ones but they prefer the sruff you get in salads now :)
 
Dont forget parsley, coriander, spinach (occaisionally) etc

Curly kale is a good one as its yummy and good for them and one bag will last for ages in the fridge :)
 
Yes same here they only eat it out of the packet saleds you know the big ones?

Thanks for that,they need a change once in a while! :D
 
Sooty loves brocolli never seems interestead in the stalk bit tho. They like all types of cabbage aswell and small amounts of banana but not too often erm.. Misty likes pears and Brandy like the red bells peppers. That's all I can think of right now..
 
Thats a lot!Well done..lol.I'll remember where this topic is as i need some new veg ideas.And now i have loads! :D
 
No Iceberg is the type to avoid... I usually say avoid lettuce altogether as its got very little in it nutritionally anyway. But Romaine and certain other typres are fine in small amounts.

They can have sweet potato but I'm not sure about normal potato, I've heard mixed information. (some people have said they can't have it but others have said it's fine as long as it's not green or starting to grow).

Hmm thanks Jane.Are small potatoes ok?My guinea pig ate some yesterday and she seems ok.
 
Don't feed potato just sweet potato. They have a reddish/orange skin on them and they grow in a weird shape. Mine used to like them but they got bored of them I think

I saw this in Asda the other day but i convinced myself it was the one they couldnt have OOPS ! right so they can have it lovely

Also i notice you can give banana do you chop it up with skin on or remove it, mine hated apple they turned their nose up at it !

Can they have white cabbage ?
