hi, I have 2 ( indoor ) guinea pigs gizmo and Bruce. Gizmo weighs 1003g and eats anything and everything and he is 7 months. My other guinea pig Bruce weighs 823g and doesn't eat his vegetables and not much hay. He is a year and a half. I adopted Bruce in November and he never seemed to like his veggies but he still ate them and now he has completely stopped. He dosnt eat much hay either. I think I've only ever seem him eat it once or twice. In the morning they get a table spoon of nuggets , a bowl of veggies and unlimited hay and then repeated in the evening. They also get a bowl of dried herbs every Saturday. Every morning he begges for his pellets and same in the evening. What shall I do? I was thinking of getting rid of pellets in their diets but I'm not sure? What do you guys think ?
 
How has his weight been over the past few weigh ins? Tracking weight is a good way to see if there is actually a problem, possibly medical or whether they're just being sneaky and eating when you're not looking.

I just weighed Bruce again and he has gone up to 838g. That was due to me panking and lots of peaflakes!
 
Just an idea why don't you change your Timothy hay & see what happens, at least you know it's not the hay them
