Apologies for yet another question about piggies diet. I want to make sure my guinea pigs do not get bladder stones or bloat...or any scary illness.
I give my guineas celery at least 2 times a week but never the full stick I usually cut it up into small chunks and give them 2-4 bits each. I am cautious that celery is high in calcium and am slightly worried if I should cut it out all together or if its safe in tiny amounts?
They get romaine lettuce quite a bit but I rinse one leaf and split it into two meals.
They get sweet peppers 2-3 times a week usually 5-7 small pieces each.
I usally would give them a bit of fruit and then they get 5-7 slices of carrot every Sunday but I think that's too much sugar for them so I won't be giving fruit as often as I have been
hoping I didn't cause any problems.
I've had guinea pigs before with a poor diet and they were mostly fed kale which stunk out the cage and eventually gave one of them bloat. I wasn't educated before and really want to take care of my two now and make sure I am not causing them any pain with their diet.
