Greens And Hay

[Nursemarston]

Hi,
More questions from the newbie,
I am feeding my two piggies about 100-150grams of veggies ( from the approved list) I split this up during the day, the seem to eat everything within minutes of having it, Am I giving them enough?
Everyday I top up their hay, I but plenty in their bedroom, to keep them warm, when I come back a few hours later they have flattened it down, so I top it up again is this normal?
Any help will be greatly received.

I can't comment on the weight of the veges as I don't weigh mine I have these small white bowls which I fill with veges (sometimes I blindly guess) and they have a larger hunk of veges in the morning and a smaller pile at night. They have pellets in the morning and evening too and like you I keep their hay rack always topped up. Guinea pigs will eat and eat and eat and EAT lol. God my two would eat till they dropped. You just have to determine when they've actually had enough. I mean my two know when they've had their full of the pellets and will eat them throughout the day- like the hay. But veges they could eat all day long 24/7.

That,s great thank you, so I won't try and fill them up with veggies, I will keep doing what I am doing.

Sounds like you are feeding the right amount. Piggies love their veg and will devour it instantly... only celery remains for longer than five mins in our cage

I have just discovered mine don't like watercress, it's all a learning curve.
