Junior Guinea Pig
Hi,
My guinea pig is 5 years old next week, he's never been interested in hay and hasnt eaten it when it's been given to him.
He had a brother who used to eat the hay so I thought if would have learned to eat it from him but he never did.
IV tried him on different types of hay but he just doesn't eat any of it.
I read online to cut back on treats to see if he shows interest in the hay but that hasn't helped either.
He is loosing quite alot of weight recently and IV been in and out of the vets with him who thinks it's just his ages because there's nothing wrong with him. His teeth have been checked and his had loads of tests done which have showed nothing wrong with him.
Basically I'm asking, what can I be feeding him that will make him put on weight? He eats nuggets and has vegetables but he's still loosing weight. How do I get him to eat the hay?
