Junior Guinea Pig
Elvis, my dental piggie happily eats nuggets (I offer softened, in case he's having a bad tooth day, and not softened - most days he'll eat both), happily eats veg, happily eats grass, and won't touch hay that might actually help him out.
He does sniff around it a bit, and maybe twice a day I'll see him pick at a couple of bits, but he's just not interested.
I'm 99% sure this is a tooth issue, but just wanted to ask for another opinion. I offer 3 types - ings hay, meadow hay, and Timothy. It's just confusing me because he *can* eat - but is it different for him eating nuggets to eating hay?
Re his teeth - he is being seen by Kim and Simon, I think he's had 5 or 6 appointments now, including one under GA, sadly there's unlikely to be any improvement so it's a case of fortnightly visits up to them until it's too much for either one of us.
