It is essential your guinea pigs eat hay. What hay do you buy? If it is cheap and poor quality maybe they do not like it. How much vegetables are you feeding them? They need hay more then vegetables so it is best to cut back on the vegetables.

I would suggest a trip to the vets. A pig needs to have hay making up 80% of it's diet as a minimum. It may have stopped eating hay because it's having problems with it's teeth. Make sure it gets some good veggies today - leafy ones will be beneficial - maybe some parsley, some lettuce, some carrot tops, and take him/her to the vet tomorrow to get the teeth looked at.
I gave to then 2 leaves of romaine lettuce, red/yellow bells 1/8 slices and 1 carrot. I buy VitaVerde by Vitakraft for hay. http://www.google.gr/imgres?um=1&hl...tart=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&tx=69&ty=64 is the link of the hay.

Then you really need to get them to a vet. They need hay to ensure they are healthy and if they are not eating it that is a big worry.
They ate the lettuce and the bells, but not the carrot.

They really must eat hay or they will become sick.
I will go tomorrow to the vet. I can't find someone right now.

Let us know how you get on.
