Hi there,
What are some good healthy low fat veggies for my new obease guinea pig? She is not a picky eater thank goodness.
I'm slowly changing her diet and I have found lots of lists of safe veggies for them, but what are some diet ones that are most nutritious?
Thanks :)
 
Here is a link to Guinea lynx, it's an excellent medical website for piggles http://www.guinealynx.info/chart.html#chart it is a sotable list and give nutritional information on foods, I know corn is quite High fat content

Here's a link to a sticky thread by Laura on Weight checks and over feeding of piggies http://www.theguineapigforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=38805

A good way to help with your piggies weight is to encourage activity, make a big run and fill it with interesting things boxes on there side, cardboard chubes or tunnels to run through, Cardboard rolls with hay in. Anything that will stimulate piggies attention and get them moving around.

I think I read your other thread, it was a gorgeous silver rescue piggie wasn't it? You sound like you are going about everything in a very measured way so I'm sure they'll soon be on their way back to health with you looking after them.
