I'm taking DF to Blackpool to see his favourite comedian on Wednesday as his surprise Xmas present - the only thing I'm worried about are the guineas.
We live quite a bit away from our parents, and we don't really know the neighbours well enough to give them a key to our house.
We'll be gone from 9am Wednesday morning, and coming back around 12pm Thursday afternoon.
They usually get: A halfbowl of the pellets in the morning (8.30-9am) and are handfed a large chunk of carrot. When we get home at 5.30pm, they are handfed veggies (usually carrots and cucumber) throughout the night (around a large carrot between them), and they get a halfbowl of pellets in the evening whenever their first bowl runs out to last them overnight. I fill their hay rack usually every other day.
If I gave them a full bowl of the pellets Wednesday morning, and gave them an additional full bowl of veggies I'd prepared the night before, and filled their hayrack with as much hay as I can fit in there, do you think they'll be OK until Thursday lunchtime? Obviously I'd fill their water bottle right up too, but as it's a massive bottle and only 2 of them, I'm not worried about that as they'd never drink a whole one.
Sorry to be rambling, I'm just a bit worried about them.
(Also if their current diet is not the best, I'd love to hear tips on that too, although that might be for another thread - I've started giving them new veggies like peppers since reading the info on this forum)
Thanks!
Hayley
