Food Gone In 5 Mins

[Tomsmum]

I mean literally, I put the food in, go off to empty, wash and refill the water bottle and by the time I am back there is no food left. I know one of them at least pulls it out of the bowl to munch in the safety of her house but even so.

Does this mean I am not giving them enough?

It could just be that they are typical greedy little pigs! How much do you give them? How old are they? Are you talking about nuggets or vegetables?

 

[Tomsmum]

This is veg, they mostly only eat pellets at night. They get a cup of veg between them morning and night.
We think they are about 4.5 months old

sounds normal to me sounds like you are feeding the right amount aswell

 

[AuntyC]

Very familiar! Tasty veggies don't last long in this house with my current three ladies in residence. x

 

[VickiA]

Sounds very normal to me. I'd be more worried if there were veg left after 5-10 mins as mine gobble them up in no time.

 

[Chief Guinea Pig]

Haha I think that sounds about right too

 

[Tomsmum]

Glad to be reassured that it's normal! I have never seen such a feeding frenzy and I have three children!

 

[sport_billy]

Oh, yes totally normal. Veggies are like food of the God's.

Think of it like me with a Pizza... gone in seconds
