how much fruit/veg for a 11 week old

[naboosmummy]

hey guys as you know i have little naboo who is now 11 weeks old.
When i bought him i got given mix food with vit c...but i read it was rubbish for guinea pigs so i bought nuggets with vit c so i am currently introducing nuggets with his mix.

I give handful of mix....handful of nuggets and 3 slices cucumber quartered, 2 slices of apple with no skin chopped and 4 carrot slices...a strip of yello pepper and sometimes a slice or two of banana or a slice or two of strawberry.

I dont know if I am under feeding him/way over feeding him or what

what is a sensible amount of fruit/veg for him?

I think it is 50g per pig, per day. I don't think it is any different for younger piggies. I bet I over feed mine :{ I don't weigh it but give the same each day (in the same bowl etc)

And then dry food, the packet said 35-50g per pig, per day, but again I just top the bowl up with the same amount each day and let them just eat how much they want. All my piggies are under a year old.

Youngsters eat the same as adults - as much hay as they can eat and a mix of 50g/1 cupful of mixed veg per piggy per day. The only difference is that you can keep the pellets topped up untul they are 6 months old and from then on you reduce it to 1 or 1/2 handful of pellets per piggy per day.

Here is a good link to a balanced veg diet:
