how often should i feed my guinea pigs as i have 4 in the same hutch and the bowls empty real quick especially the fruit and veg ? :(
 
I give mine veggies on a morning then dried food during the day then veggies again on a night and top the dried food up.
If they are clearing the dishes really quick i suggest you give them a bit more
 
They should have a constant supply of hay,dried grass,dry mix and water.Veggies can be fed up to 4 times a day.That depends on your circumstances of course.You have to find a veggie routine that suits you.I would recommend at least 2 veggie feeds a day. Give moderate amounts and vary as much as you can.

If possible,give the 4 piggies a bowl of veggies each or at least one bowl between 2.
 
wel i just top up bout 45mins ago dry food is mostly there and veg and half the veg is gone all they have done since i put the food in is go bak and forward 2 both bowls i hope they will stop soon which i think there are lol 2funny
 
i have 1 quite big bowl for the veg and fill it right to the top with various types of veg once in the morning and once on the evening and keep there hay and dried fod topped up at all times I'm just thinking if this is enough for them but i dont want them to go overweight
 
I feed my 2 baby pigs 2 types veggies in the morning, Timothy hay and 3 spoons of Kaytee pellets. When I get home around 7pm I give them veggies and hay again. Later around midnight before I sleep I give them a cherry tomato each and another leafy vege, 2 spoons of Gerty mix, and top up the hay again if they have finished it. I don't give unlimited hay because they tend to pee and poop on it, and hay is expensive here. The price for 1000 grams of hay is enough to buy me lunch for at least 5 days. I just refill the hay once I see that they have finished it.
 
I feed mine once in the morning and they all wheek at me to say hurry up so i decided to feed them more after they have empty bowls - They also get fresh fruit and veg :D
 
I feed veggies in the morning and dry mix/pellets in the evening and usually a treat of some sort like herbs especially parsley or some nice herbal hay. They have a constant supply of hay and water :)
