I'm a little uncertain if I'm giving my girls the right amount of food and would appreciate a little advice from more experienced slaves.
There are two bowls in the hutch (the one that says "guinea pig" on it and the other with the carrots round the side), one is filled with muesli (Waggs) and the other has the veggies which vary daily depending what I have in the house. I give them fresh veg twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening, plus I throw in a couple of large handfuls of grass/clover once or twice a day. Their hay rack is kept full and they have a large water bottle.
Typing all that, it sounds like quite a lot lol, but is this a good feeding schedule and do the amounts sound OK?
Also, how do you prepare your piggie veggies? Do you slice things up or leave them in their original state? For instance, should I be giving whole carrots, slices, or halves? ?/
Sorry for the daft questions, just want to make sure my girls are getting what they need. :red
