Fruit And Veg

[Millicent Payne]

So i have 2 young piggies and have been reading alot about giving them a balenced diet and heard from different sources that fruit is okay if given every now and again.
I have tried different fruits (apples, strawberrys, blueberrys and raspberrys) but they dont seem to like any.

Is this normal? My last 2 loved their fruit.
Do i need to give them certain veg to make up for what they are missing when they dont eat the fruit?

some of mine like fruit and some don't
fruit is very high in sugar anyway so don't worry that they are missing out

 

[Toffee321]

if they need something sugary give them carrot which is also high in sugar

Hi there personaly l don't like giving fruit, i beleve it can add to the risk of chilitis

Guinea Lynx :: Cheilitis

Cheilitis is an inflammation of the lips that often results in scab-like sores on the lips and nose of a guinea pig. Cheilitis can be caused by a bacterial infection, a yeast infection or fungal infection.

Fruit for mine is limited. But they do have plenty of peppers, so good for Vitamin C.
