Junior Guinea Pig
Hello all!
I am new to guinea pigs and I was curious how I should be feeding my furry friend. I was (seemingly mis-) informed by the lady at the local pet shop that I should provide my guinea pig with unlimited pellets as they do not over eat. However I keep reading that they only need 1/8 cup a day, which is a bit less than my guinea pig has been munching down daily. I always give him unlimited timothy hay which he also eats, but I wouldn't say it's the majority of his diet by any means. I keep trying veggies also, but so far he won't eat them. I assume he has never been offered them before. Advice?
Thanks everyone!
