Weed and Feed was put on the lawn where piggie grazes. (not my choice, my dad wanted to) How long should I wait before I let Patches go play?
 
Not sure where I've heard this from but I thought you couldn't put piggies on a lawn that had been treated within 6 months but someone may correct me on this.
 
I have the Green Thumb lawn service, and I always wait 2 cuts or 2 weeks before I put the boys out.

They have assured me that their treatment is safe for grazing animals, but I always wait 2 cuts or 2 weeks (which ever is the longest) before I put them out

I'm not sure if the feed & weed stuff you are using is different.

If you find out what make it is, you could email the manufacturer and ask them.
 
I'm sorry I dont have an answer about weed and feed with guinea pigs but a freind wanted to use it on her horses paddock and she was told by the manufacturers that she should wait until all the granules had been absorbed into the ground and then wait 2 weeks before putting her horse back on it, however a science professor told her that the weed killer used can cause neurological problems if ingested in sufficient quantities and that it can stay on the grass until it grows out.

I also found this on a website 'Weed and Feed. Think again. Most weed and feed products contain pesticides, such as 2,4-D, dicamba and MCPP. Children's small size and developing brains and bodies leave them more vulnerable to the risks from pesticides.' (I know again this isnt Piggies)

On the Evergreen website it says to water in the pellets and allow the area to dry before letting children and pets on.

So basically I dont know.........sorry.:red
