How much hay and food?

[ukheather]

I have 2 piggies and they seem to eat a lot of hay compared to dry food.

How much hay and how much dry food should I be giving them a day?

Unlimited hay, I believe its unlimited pellets if they are still growing... but after that 1/8 cupful...
This tells you all about the guinea pigs diet.

Thanks!

I have been putting unlimited hay down and they always have enough dry food, I just wasn't sure if I was giving them too much hay as I didn't know if it makes them fat
