For your piggies?
And how often are you supposed to?
Can you overdo it?
Just curious.
TIA!

Everything should be completely refreshed at least once a day:
- Water completely emptied, bottle rinsed and refilled with fresh water at least once daily.
- Dry food dishes emptied and thoroughly washed daily, and refilled once or twice a day.
- Soiled hay should be cleared daily, but once that has been refreshed you can top it up as often as needed - although once or twice daily is usually sufficient.
The only exception is hay in a hay rack - that can generally stay in until it's eaten.
You can overdo the dry food, that shouldn't be refilled more than twice a day.

i change all hay/pellets and water in the morning and then at night again xx
Dry food once a day,veggies twice ,water twice cause I have a lot and they often drink it all Hay racks when they are empty usually daily ,bedding daily ,rest of the run every other day with a top up in between .Phew keeps me busy!
Mine live outside and so are on the grass all day (which admittedly isn't that long during this time of the year). I put them out on the grass in their runs in the morning and fetch them in at dusk. They have water bottles in their runs, but apart from carrot tops, radish tops, etc., out of the garden if I'm picking for myself, they only have the grass (and the other edible weeds on the very weedy lawn) to eat.
At night, I give them 3 handfuls of pellets between 6 of them and usually half a carrier bag full of dandelions and other weeds between the 7 of them (my boy is on his own until he gets the op). The two rabbits get a large handful of said dandelions too. They have hay in a hay rack which I replenish as necessary (every few days). If I haven't been out foraging, then they get a bowl of carrot and other veg, or carrot/radish/turnip tops out of the garden. As they're on the grass all day, they only get fed once a day. They usually eat all of the pellets, so I just have to top that up. I change their water daily.
I enjoy taking my sister's dog for a walk and so take a carrier bag and forage for the guinea-pigs at the same time.
