Teenage Guinea Pig
Hi everyone,
I think we can all agree that our piggies love their food! However, I feel like Bert is hungry all the time. They get two tablespoons of pellets in the morning when I wake up followed by a teacup size amount of veg each, half in the morning and the other half in the late afternoon. I know it is normal for them to squeek when the fridge opens or anything that makes a noise lol, but I feel like he is still hungry. I recently weighed them both and Bert was 507kg. He is only four months so he is still growing, but I think I need to find ways to keep him stimulated. I have forage and spread that around which they both like, but Bert gets bored after a while. I scatter their veggies around too. I bought them these animal chew toy things that I cable tied to stop Bert chewing the bars and that has worked. Any ideas to help him become stimulated? I just feel like he is getting bored sometimes and is turning to food. Their playpen is big and there are enough hideys, chew toys etc
