How do I get my baby guinea pig to eat her greens

[Jbrodsky73]

It's been afew days since I got my 4 week old and she really won't eat much greens and If just leave greens in there for her my older pig will just eat it all. Should I be worried for her? She eats hay and her pellets and drinks just not much greens.

As long as she is eating hay then that’s fine. She will learn to eat veg and she will learn how to be quicker to get to them. You could also handfeed her some, that way you know she will be getting some, but she will still need to learn from your older girl that veg is safe to eat

She's not tame enough yet for hand feeding.

That’s part of bonding with them, it’ll come in time

you she hides a lot and my tame pig enjoys to hide with her in the same hideout, is that normal? She didn't always hide a lot but she's been a lot with the younger pig.

It’s fine if she hides with her. Perhaps some coriander may tempt her. Keep trying, sometimes it’s a case of persistence. And hopefully she’ll soon learn from the older piggy.
