[Stephanie1110]

Hello everyone. I wanted to ask what should I do with my guinea pigs food.
I’m going to this place and Its going to be from 10 am until 10pm until I come back, and I wanted to know what should I do with there food! I have no one to come and give them food when I’m not here. So what should I do!?

Hi and welcome!

Please feed them their breakfast as normal and leave them with plenty of hay (which makes 80% or more of the daily food intake anyway), so it is not like they do not have access to their main food all day long!
Then feed them their dinner veg when you come home. Do not be tempted to give extra pellets; it is the hay they should eat as much as possible for long term health and longevity.

As long as your piggies have plenty of fresh hay and full water bottles, there is nothing to worry about. You can leave piggies without problems for 24 hours or just over, but should not leave them for longer than being and checked at least once daily.
