Healthy Treats?

[Pets Palace TV]

Hello, recently I have noticed that a few of my guinea pigs have been loosing a lot of weight - one of them was once 1100g and he's now only 776g which is a fairly dramatic weight loss although he's always running around and jumping up and down everything which may explain why he has lost all the weight. Not that long ago all my guinea pigs were moved into c & c cages, since then they have been much more active which may also explain the weight loss; they have access to hay 24/7, plenty of pellets and veggies everyday. I am looking for some kind of treats that I could feed them to help them gain a little weight however I am aware many pet shop treats are full of unhealthy ingredients therefore I am quite reluctant to buy from them. If anyone knows any healthier treats that could help my guinea pigs it would be great if you could let me know, thanks

The only healthy treats I know is a variety of hays. Unfortunately, all shop treats are just junk. Have you thought of taking your piggy for a check up as that is quite a lot of weight to lose?

Okay, if there are any other symptoms we will take him but he is completely fine, I think it's just because he is always moving around whereas the other piggies tend to just sleep all day ahah but is there anything else I can do to help him gain a bit of weight?

It is hard to get a piggy to gain weight. You could try pellet mush. Some piggies prefer it to whole pellets and will eat more.
