Junior Guinea Pig
Hi
Is it right that a guinea-pig should have 1 cup of veg per day or around 50g? I give mine around 4-5 different veg per day (and this changes daily too).
Does this list sound the right quantity per piggie per day? 1 slice of pepper, 2 slices of cucumber, 1 large leaf of lettuce, 1 cherry tomato.
I make sure they have at least 1 vitamin C source every day, such as pepper, carrot or chiory. The reason i ask this question is that one of my piggies is quite fat, and I'm wondering if I'm over feeding, or under feeding or feeding enough vitamin C. He's about 1,200g and has a large round belly. He's been to the vet and the vet said he was just fat.
They are both in good condition (in terms of coat and skin) and the other piggie is around 1,000g but doesn't have the round belly.
They also get a handful of pellets per day between the two of them, unlimited meadow hay and timothy hay and a pinch of dried herbs daily.
